Visual Arts

The visual arts thrive on the Gold Coast, supported by exhibition spaces in public and private galleries, a number of local visual arts competitions, public art acquisition opportunities, and university and TAFE courses in visual arts media and graphic design.

Further information is available about Gold Coast galleries, including the Gold Coast City Art Gallery in the Gold Coast Arts Centre.
