Imagine inno vate inspire The 2016 Education Program is set to engage and delight young creatives, and provide quality experiences linked to the Australian Curriculum for teachers and students.

Created with General Capabilities, Cross-Curricular Priorities and transdisciplinary approaches in mind, the 2016 Education Program provides creative, exciting and adventurous learning opportunities in The Arts and beyond, including links to Science, Geography and History. Many of the program offerings are supported by teacher notes, so that integration into the classroom is easy.

In 2016 we showcase excellence in creative practice, with exhibitions Made in Queensland: Ode to the souvenir, How to Make a Monster - The Art and Technology of Animatronics created by John Cox’s Creature Workshop, the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award 2016 and the annual ENERGIES exhibition of talented Gold Coast secondary students. These exhibitions will inspire students and teachers alike, and enrich the cultural life of our city.

In addition, a quality program of exhibitions, drama, dance and music complete a year-long education program of fabulous opportunities for young people to engage and connect with performing and visual arts. We invite you to embrace and support the initiatives on offer.

The Jock and Beverly McIlwain Bus Fund will again be supported by our generous Benefactors Jock and Beverly McIlwain in 2016, ensuring that there are fewer financial barriers for our young people to access quality learning experiences in The Arts.

Finally, many of our learning programs are realised through the support of our amazing supporters, including our Benefactors, Sponsors and Partners and The Friends of The Arts Centre Gold Coast. Because of this support, students from all over the Gold Coast region and beyond have access to quality Arts programming.

Gold Coast City Gallery

Indo Pop Indonesian Art from APT7 This exhibition presents a group of artists who were a central feature of the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art's flagship 2012 exhibition, The 7th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art. Since the 1970s, groups of contemporary artists in Indonesia have banded together to challenge social, political and economic structures as well as the arts establishment, creating a powerful voice of protest and criticism in their works and contributing to the nation's new status as a major centre for international art. This exciting group of artists tend to look to urban and popular culture for new styles to express themselves.

Made in Queensland Ode to the souvenir From its theme parks and golden beaches to its carefree lifestyle, the Gold Coast is a tourist’s dream. And with tourism comes the souvenir - hats, snow domes, magnets, tea-towels, cups, spoons and postcards, to list just a few of the mementoes bought by visitors. Ironically, many of these souvenirs are made overseas: China, the UK, Japan and even New Zealand.

Made in Queensland: Ode to the souvenir provides the platform to showcase our eclectic souvenir collection and invite six local artists from diverse practices to view and create artwork responding to the collection. The works produced will be showcased in the exhibition and offer local school students a unique opportunity to investigate the Gold Coast as a place.

Students will see how animatronic components are designed and installed to create the bones and muscles that bring monsters to life. Interactive exhibits allow students to become an animatronics puppeteer, a lighting technician, a creature designer and so much more. How to Make a Monster features the work of John Cox, 1995 Visual Effects Academy Award® winner for the movie Babe, and his Gold Coast-based company, John Cox’s Creature Workshop.
