Background
Company Profile
The Arts Centre Gold Coast was first envisaged in 1968 when a group of like-minded Gold Coast area citizens actively promoted the need for a first-class theatre and gallery complex for entertainment and the arts on the Gold Coast. This group was later registered in 1971 as the Cultural Centre Association and known as the Community Arts Centre Association (C.A.C.A).
Gold Coast Arts Centre Pty Ltd is the statutory body that operates The Arts Centre Gold Coast with Gold Coast City Council as the sole share holder of the Company. The Board of Directors consists of 7 members appointed by Council.
By April 1969 this group secured the Gold Coast City Council’s support for the development of an arts centre on Evandale Park next to Gold Coast City Council Chambers. The Centre opened in 1986 and was called ‘The Keith Hunt Community Entertainment and Arts Centre.’ The Centre was run directly by Council via a sub-committee. In 1993, a Board of Management was established and the Gold Coast City Council changed the name from The Keith Hunt Community Entertainment and Arts Centre to the Gold Coast Arts Centre Proprietary Limited as a separate legal entity. During this time the entertainment program was expanded, the city’s first Arts Cinema was created, foyer space was increased, with a new bar area, the Arts Café was constructed and a new lobby retail shop opened.
The Arts Centre Gold Coast is the Gold Coast’s premier cultural facility, bringing visual and performing arts to residents of South East Queensland. The complex houses the Arts Theatre (with 1,139 seats), Gold Coast City Gallery, the Paradise Showroom, two cinemas and the Arts Café as well as several stunning function rooms, a chapel and two small performance spaces, The Basement and The Space. Gold Coast City Gallery houses the renowned city collection of contemporary and historical artworks. The Board of The Arts Centre Gold Coast is custodian of the City’s art collection valued at approximately $11 million and has management responsibility for the activity worth approximately $8.8 million undertaken in The Arts Centre venues. The Arts Centre employs 37 full time staff, 2 permanent-part time staff and over 70 casual staff. Values
In March 2010, the Gold Coast Arts Centre was renamed, rebranded, refurbished and relaunched as The Arts Centre Gold Coast, as part of an ongoing change in strategic direction. The Arts Centre Gold Coast (TACGC) is a registered trading name of Gold Coast Arts Centre Pty Ltd.

Patrick Corrigan began his career in the freight industry in the 60’s and by the mid 70’s he was head of several freight companies which participated in the phenomenal expansion of the freighting industry in Australia and overseas. Pat began his love affair with collecting art and art books in his 30’s and his library is recognised as one of the finest private library collections of its type in Australia. Pat says that the main thrill of collecting has always been the hunt and acquisition of rare items, rather than possession of them once acquired.
After the sale of the Quality Inns Group, Kerry commenced a consulting business through his company, Pacific Global Corporation with clients including Marriott International Australia and the Queensland Government through Events Queensland Gold Coast. Kerry is currently Chairman of Events Queensland Gold Coast (Gold Coast Marathon and Pan Pacific Masters Games) and Gold Coast Tropicarnival Ltd - Gold Coast Eisteddfod, as well as Executive Advisor - Japan for Tourism Australia and an Honorary Life Member of Gold Coast Tourism.

While Richard’s specific interests have generally revolved around business and sports, his family has participated in a number of Summer Schools at The Arts Centre over the years, giving him a strong appreciation of the benefits the arts bring to the community.

The Arts Centre Gold Coast Annual Review 2009-10
Chairman’s Report
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our very first public report for The Arts Centre Gold Coast. This report is another new initiative in what can only be described as a year full of new initiatives and change. The start of the financial year began with the departure of long time General Manager Kelvin Cordell who after 23 years of outstanding service decided to take the time to finally enjoy the Gold Coast lifestyle that most busy senior managers do not get the chance to do. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the outstanding legacy that Kelvin created during his tenure. The appointment of a new General Manager quickly became the top priority of the Board and following a national recruitment campaign the Board appointed Destry Puia as its new General Manager. Since this time the Board has worked closely with the General Manager in creating a new vision for The Arts Centre Gold Coast. Underlying this vision has been a commitment to ensuring that the arts play a meaningful and ongoing role in the lives of our community now and in the future. Implementing a new organisational structure ensured that the company was adequately prepared to tackle a very ambitious year ahead. Rebranding of the organisation from Gold Coast Arts Centre to The Arts Centre Gold Coast marked not only a change in the marketing of the company but also signalled a change in artistic direction as we sought to play a greater leadership role in the development of Gold Coast artists. State of the art technical upgrades to the Arts Theatre as well as extensive refurbishments to the foyer were completed to further enhance the theatre-going experience for our audience. From a financial perspective, the company improved its performance from the previous year while almost tripling its live theatre attendances, as illustrated in the graphs showing event and audience trends. The company also worked hard to strengthen relationships with our key stakeholders. A renewed commitment between Gold Coast City Council and The Arts Centre Gold Coast to work together collaboratively resulted in stronger governance and reporting structures, improved asset maintenance prioritisation and a greater level of shared planning for future capital developments. In this regard, I would like to acknowledge the ongoing support of Gold Coast City Council who continues to be the main funding source for the company’s activities and operations. In particular I would like to thank Steve Bowden, Coordinator Business Support and Geoffrey Bolster, Manager Facilities Management who are the main Council contact officers for the company. Their guidance has been invaluable in ensuring that the objectives of the company and those of Council continue to reflect the needs and aspirations of the community.
7,000
Our Benefactors both new and existing have once again proven that the Gold Coast community not only values the arts but is prepared to financially support creativity through philanthropy. Their ongoing support makes many of our arts development initiatives possible as does the efforts of our wonderful volunteers who throughout the year have given their time generously.
6,000 5,000
The Friends of The Arts Centre Gold Coast have continued to be the greatest community advocates for the organisation and arts on the Gold Coast in general. I would like to acknowledge the hard work of the Friends committee and in particular the outstanding efforts of former President Paul Fitzgerald for ensuring that the Friends continue to be a significant part of the team here at The Arts Centre Gold Coast. I also offer congratulations to incoming President Wendy Spencer and wish her the very best for the coming year ahead.
4,000 3,000 2,000
The company is fortunate to have a diverse array of skills at the Board level and I would like to thank my fellow Board Directors all of whom contribute significant time, not only to the Board but also serve on numerous subcommittees, working parties and advisory roles throughout the year. I would like to thank our amazing team of volunteers who all give their time freely simply to make the arts more accessible to our community. Their commitment and dedication week in and week out is invaluable and I extend my thanks to each and every one of them.

General Manager’s Report
In October 2009 I was fortunate enough to be appointed General Manager. Since then the company has focused on increasing its reputation as one of Australia’s leading arts organisations by presenting high quality international and Australian works. Our leadership role was reflected in the number of new artist development initiatives launched throughout the year while a greater diversity in programming enabled us to increase audiences to cultural events. Renewed efforts to better engage with the community led to the rebranding of the company into The Arts Centre Gold Coast. New collateral, e-marketing initiatives and new team uniforms all supported the objective of generating renewed interest in the company. Throughout the year 505,420 people attended events held at the Centre, representing an increase of 92,573 or 22%. The single largest growth area was in The Arts Centre Presents series which are those performances that the company presents as part of our artistic program. Attendance in this area grew by 184% (44,348) from 24,083 in the previous year to 68,431. A return sell-out season of Menopause the Musical; performances by world-renowned pianist David Helfgott; Parisian cabaret artist Caroline Nin; The Imperial Russian Ballet and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra contributed to the strength of the year’s main stage program. Our Live in The Basement series extended its offerings with the introduction of the Live and Intimate cabaret series; Life Changing Documentaries and Indie Film Nights to complement the Unplugged, Comedy and Jazz programs. At a local level the company was able to provide new investment and support into the development of our local arts companies as a result of new funding from Arts Queensland and the Australia Council. The conversion of the former Harlequin rehearsal room into a new 100 seat black box theatre called The Space provided not only another much needed performance venue but also and more importantly, a new accessible artistic playground for local arts organisations and The Arts Centre to explore, create and deliver exciting experiences to new audiences through new artistic partnerships. The cinema continued to prove popular with 128,549 people viewing the best national and international art house movies shown on the Gold Coast including the Academy Award -winning The Hurt Locker, Mao’s Last Dancer, Bran Nue Dae and The Last Station.
Gold Coast City Gallery presented 61 different exhibitions and programs attracting 42,298 attendances. Highlights included the Kuru Alala, Eyes Open in partnership with Tjanpi weavers. This exhibition toured nationally as a result of receiving the largest ever grant from Vision of Australia. The Stan and Maureen Duke Gold Coast Art Prize attracted strong attendances aided by the usual controversial media attention that accompanies this prize. The Gallery also delivered a five week program of Summer Sunday Sessions with some of the best emerging Gold Coast musicians performing in the Gallery as part of Gold Coast City Council’s A-Venue music program. The Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award and Flying Colours again proved popular while Queensland College of Art celebrated 10 years of Gold Coast Alumni with their launch as well as a day of family activities around the theme of Photography. The year ended with the Bursting at the Seams exhibition which showcased the recent acquisitions from the City’s collection and in particular some of the vast amount of artworks donated to the collection from Pat and Barbara Corrigan and Win Schubert. From a commercial perspective, earned income for the company grew by $388,422 or 6% to $6,696,126. Strong income growth occurred in most areas with the exception being food and beverage which experienced a decline largely as a result of business interruptions during building upgrade works as well as an increase in non-food and beverage business meetings and seminars. The growth in commercial income mixed with greater control on expenditure meant that the company was able to direct more funds into artistic areas resulting in the Centre delivering an additional 399 events (an increase of 7%) for the year, totalling 5,793 with The Arts Centre Presents series and arts programs by other arts companies, community groups and promoters representing the largest area of increase being 217 or 54%. Extensive building refurbishments breathed new life into the venue while at the same time improving services to customers. The relocation of the box office proved to be an instant success while new digital signage, foyer refurbishment and cafe upgrades became the tangible evidence of a transformed organisation. The back stage areas also enjoyed much needed attention with significant technical upgrades occurring in the theatre ensuring that artists and groups who use the Arts Theatre have access to state of the art digital audio and lighting equipment. But companies such as The Arts Centre Gold Coast are more than bricks and mortar. It is the people who work tirelessly day after day within the company who ensure that what we
do is worthy of recognition and appreciation. To the Board of Directors and in particular the Chairman Kerry Watson, thank you for your guidance and support throughout the year. To our wonderful team of volunteers who give their time so generously to support us, to our increasing number of Benefactors who rally more people to our cause and to our wonderful Friends of The Arts Centre Gold Coast, thank you so much. Finally, to our wonderful staff in every department, whether permanent or casually employed. Each and every one of you has been a key contributor to the success the company has experienced to date and my sincere thanks to you all.
7,000 6,000 5,000 4,000 3,000
In conclusion, 2011/12 promises to build upon this success and I look forward to the continued support of Gold Coast City Council as The Arts Centre Gold Coast continues to support, develop and promote the artistic wealth here on the Gold Coast.

Student Ambassador Program & Fill The Space
Supporting Local Arts Development
The 2010 program consists of five main elements:
Student Ambassador Program
Stages artists
In March 2010 The Arts Centre Gold Coast launched its Regional Stages Project which was made possible through funding from Arts Queensland and the Australia Council. Through this initiative, programs were developed to promote The Arts Centre Gold Coast as an accessible venue for Gold Coast artists, performers and audiences alike. Particular emphasis is on targeting new programming initiatives aimed at sections of the community which historically were not catered for within previous programming activities and which:
1. Youth Theatre Project 2. Student Ambassador Program 3. Fill This Space 4. Artist in Residence 5. Ignition
To complement the Youth Theatre Program, the Centre sought to further develop relationships with secondary school students through the introduction of a Student Ambassador Program. This program targets year 11 and 12 students residing on the Gold Coast region wanting to become involved with the performing arts but not necessarily as a performer. There is a limit of twenty Student Ambassadors per year. Two volunteer Ambassador Liaison Officers are appointed to assist with the implementation of the program. In 2010, the Centre registered fifteen Student Ambassadors.
• The opportunity to meet the creative and production teams for events in The Space

2009/10 Summer School
Artist in Residence
Summer School 2009/10
The Artist in Residence Program enables one performing arts individual or organisation residing in the Gold Coast region to take up residence at The Arts Centre Gold Coast for 7-10 months. It is acknowledged that artists are accomplished at creating new works but often suffer from the lack the business mentoring and arts industry support needed to help a regional arts organisation develop into a major artistic company.
The 12th annual Arts Centre Gold Coast Performing Arts Summer School for 2009/2010 was an energetic production of High School Musical 2, based on a Disney channel original movie. Directed by Anthony Crowley, the performance season of High School Musical 2, took place in The Arts Centre’s main theatre from 21 to 30 January 2010. Featuring the talent and exuberance that made the first production a sell-out success, High School Musical 2 featured more of the laughter, romance, intrigue, dance sequences and show-stopping musical numbers audiences loved in 2008/09.
Through this program, the Artist in Residence gains access to financial and resource support, professional business mentoring and industry advice. The Artist in Residence has access to space for rehearsals and performances as well as funding support for the creation of a new work to be offered for regional and interstate touring. Blood, Sweat and Dance promotional image Following an application process, Zealous Choreography was nominated as the 2010 Artist in Residence. Founded by Ben Veitch, its Creative Director, Zealous Choreography strives to push the boundaries of dance with innovative choreography reflecting honesty and beauty. The Arts Centre Gold Coast provided Ben with office space and initiated a series of mentoring opportunities including: • • • • • • •
A series of one-on-one business development mentoring sessions with Auspicious Arts Attendance at the So You Wanna Seminars Attendance at the Queensland Showcase and Long Paddock Assistance with grant applications Assistance with a submission to Artour Working with Gael Ballantyne, a Gold Coast based drama teacher, performer, director and writer to bring structure and creativity to the performance project Assistance with the development, technical and marketing aspects of a major work
A theatre-based summer school for aspiring young talent was established at The Arts Centre Gold Coast in 1998 to further develop education in the performing arts. During professional tuition, students are given a unique opportunity not only to perfect their performance skills but also to acquire practical knowledge in many aspects of performing arts, including sound and lighting, marketing, choreography, financial budgeting, make-up and costumes. As well, students develop leadership and communication skills in what many describe as a ‘life-changing’ experience. The Centre’s annual Summer School offers young people living on the Gold Coast a unique opportunity of performing live on stage before an audience. Since inception 12 years ago, around 500 young people have experienced the thrill of professional training and participating in a real-life production and the program has now become a Gold Coast icon, loved and enjoyed by families and the whole community. Our heartfelt thanks go to the many Benefactors, donors and sponsors who loyally support this event and help us make it possible.
The Arts Centre Gold Coast will produce and stage Ben’s first major work for theatre Blood Sweat and Dance in a three-performance season in March 2011. An application for inclusion in the Queensland Showcase 2011 has been submitted. The production will also be offered for 2012 touring through Long Paddock, a twice yearly event supported by the Australian Government under its Playing Australia funding program that brings together presenters and producers from all around Australia to generate national tours.

Gold Coast City Gallery
During the year, renovations to the foyer and gallery spaces, replacement of the ten-year old carpet in Gallery 1 and polished concrete in Gallery 2, now offers our patrons a fresh and attractive gallery experience. Key achievements in 2009 - 2010 include: Initiating and developing exhibitions of national importance • Michael Zavros: The Good Son Works on Paper presented the work of Gold Coast born artist Michael Zavros. Support from the Arts Queensland’s Regional Art Development Fund and Bond University enabled a ten-minute documentary film to be made about the artist and his process. The film was directed by local filmmaker Alex Chomicz. A catalogue and poster were produced and a major work by the artist was acquired for the collection.
Local artists featured in 2009 - 2010 were; • • • • • • • • • • • •
Susan Simonini Hobbie Porter Dave Groom Hazel Cope Stephen Baxter Queensland College of Art Gold Coast Graduates 320 Local artists exhibiting in the Border Art Prize Carole King Caroline Cleak Flying Colours Exhibition featuring the work of six artists who have all graduated from QCA Gold Coast and who have now developed national reputations Stephanie Laine 46 senior students from Gold Coast high schools
Presenting works from the collection in new ways • Kuru Alala Eyes Open - Tjanpi Desert Weavers, Maria Fernanda Cardoso and Alison Clouston. This ground-breaking exhibition was developed in partnership between indigenous fibre collective Tjanpi Desert Weavers with the support of the Balnaves Foundation. Over 90 indigenous artists from the western desert participated in a two-year project to make a large-scale sculptural work based on stories of country and spirit. The exhibition received the largest ever grant from Visions of Australia and will tour four states to the end of 2012. Nine artists from the western desert visited the Gold Coast to install the exhibition and to participate in a public opening and workshops. A catalogue and video were produced. • Ian Smith - On and Off the Road. An exhibition of works by senior Queensland artist Ian Smith reflecting a ten-year body of work based the artist’s experience of road travel, distance and separation from family. The Gallery received a grant from Arts Queensland to support the presentation of the exhibition and to produce a short film which was short-listed for Best Queensland Short Film 2010. The exhibition will tour six venues throughout Queensland in early 2011. Mentoring local artists and displaying their work With the renovation of the foyer gallery, Gold Coast City Gallery now offers a regular program of solo exhibitions by local artists. Gold Coast artists have also featured in group exhibitions in the main gallery spaces. These exhibitions present significant professional development and exposure opportunities for artists, with catalogues produced and works of art being sold. Hosting public events also allows direct engagement with the community and media exposure.
With so much of the Gold Coast Gallery Collection in storage, presenting regular exhibitions that display selections of this work in engaging ways is important. Exhibitions based on the collection in 2009 - 10 include; • Colour Texture Form: An exhibition of diverse objects from the collection brought together to by virtue of their bold use of colour, dramatic texture or striking form. This exhibition will go on tour in regional Queensland in 2011. • Bursting at the Seams: Our collection continues to grow especially with the support of key local philanthropists Mrs Win Schubert and Pat and Barbara Corrigan. This exhibition displayed some of these recently acquired works and demonstrated the need to expand our collection storage. • Works in Gold Coast City Gallery collection are available for loan upon request to public gallery institutions. In 2009/10 loans included Gordon Bennett Terra Nullius to the National Gallery of Victoria and Queensland Art Gallery and other works to Artspace MacKay, Lake Macquarie Regional Gallery, Hazlehurst Regional Gallery and Redcliffe Art Gallery. • Over 400 works from the collection are currently on loan to Gold Coast City Council Offices and Public Library Service.

Offering engaging art experiences for the community The Gallery presented a wide range of engaging public programs and activities for the community ranging from children’s education days to seminars and master classes. • Art Unpacked: Land and Place an Education Kit for Australian Schools, based on works in the Collection. This resource kit was developed to give schools and teachers a high-quality teaching resource directly linking works in the collection to the curriculum. Support from The Australia Council, The George Alexander Foundation and Arts Queensland enabled the resource to be distributed free to Gold Coast schools and, for a small fee, to schools outside the area. • Energies Immersion Day: High school students selected for the annual Energies Exhibition were invited to participate in a full-day immersion program with two established local artists. Presented with the support of Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society, Gold Coast. • Four free family Art Activity days were presented in association with the following exhibitions: Michael Zavros; Ian Smith the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award and the Stan and Maureen Duke Gold Coast Art Prize. Activities were designed and presented by gallery staff and visitors were invited to participate and create their own artworks. • A free seminar, Art in the Hospital Environment, was presented in collaboration with Gold Coast Hospital to coincide with the Hazel Cope exhibition and the development of a public art policy for Gold Coast Hospital. Over 100 people attended this seminar which looked at best practice models and evidence for high quality artworks in medical environments.
• Four local musicians who are part of the Gold Coast City Council’s A-Venue Music Program were presented in a series of Sunday afternoon summer sessions in the Gallery. • The Gallery regularly hosts talks for the following community groups - TAFE ESL; Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation; Respite Care; Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society, Gold Coast; and a number of Aged Care groups. • The Gallery maintains close cultural collaborative connections with Queensland College of Art Gold Coast; The Gold Coast City Council Cultural Development Unit; Arts Queensland; Museum and Gallery Services Queensland and Bond University.
Managing the City Collection Gallery staff and The Arts Centre Board worked closely with Gold Coast City Council staff to review existing storage, staff accommodation and access issues. Plans for a two-level gallery extension featuring a disabled access lift on the western façade of the building were drawn up. However, this project did not proceed because of cost and logistical issues relating to disabled access. New staff accommodation opportunities were identified within the existing building and these offices were renovated. Arts Centre staff are now working on alternative storage development options.

Developing the collection in accordance with established policy • 145 works were acquired in the Financial Year period 200910 (these are listed under Acquisitions).
