Placemakers* Gold Coast offers expert advice on the role culture plays in defining our City. Whether embedding culture and community into the planning of large-scale residential developments, or rolling out small community events, we consistently exceed client and community expectations, delivering out of the box, unexpected and transformational arts events that shift perceptions and build community. As the City of Gold Coast’s leading independent arts organisation, we put culture first when planning for a vibrant, liveable and evolved city. We are solutions-focused, creative and flexible in realising cultural activations as part of a broader planning and development strategy. And while we thrive on the creative arts practice, we are meticulous in meeting the tightest deadlines and adhering to the strictest budgets. We have proven expertise in large-scale event management, building new projects from the ground up. Placemakers* Gold Coast has successfully delivered multiple editions of Bleach* The Gold Coast Festival, a 50+ event, city-wide extravaganza, as well as large-scale productions such as Opera on the Beach and Hotelling. We’re excellent communicators and value community consultation and engagement when delivering place-based experiences. We do this for our own projects and can help our partners on their projects too. Our tailored and unique engagement process delivers meaningful results for both partners and the wider community.
