The Gold Coast Multicultural Arts Group acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land and waters on which we create and work. We pay respects to the Kombumerri people of the Bundjalung, Mibiny, Ngarahngwal, and Yugambeh language groups. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and to their ongoing sovereignty.

GCMAGIC is thrilled to announce the launch of the Creative Club — a new initiative designed to connect and support both established and emerging local artists. This exciting program aims to foster the development of high-quality artistic projects across the Gold Coast.

Led by experienced local artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, the Creative Club is inclusive and welcoming to people of all cultures, ages, genders, and abilities.

Through monthly gatherings, participants will engage in creative conversations, share ideas, exchange artistic experiences, and identify new programs, projects, and event opportunities.

Operating under the GCMAGIC umbrella, the Creative Club will maintain its own identity and operations. At the same time, GCMAGIC offers support through resources, venue and gallery space, and promotional assistance via social media.



🗓️ Next Gathering:
