Congratulations to our long time sponsors and supporters on their next chapter ! Friends of The Arts Arts Gold Coast Foundation

After more than 55 years as Friends of the Arts Foundation, we're excited to share that we've officially begun a new chapter as the Arts Gold Coast Foundation.

First and foremost, thank you. 🙏

To our members, supporters, volunteers, donors, artists, and community partners – thank you for helping us build a legacy of supporting young and emerging artists on the Gold Coast. Every grant awarded, every event attended, and every artist encouraged has been possible because of you.

While our name is changing, our commitment to the arts remains as strong as ever.

The Arts Gold Coast Foundation will build on everything that Friends of the Arts has achieved, while creating new opportunities to support artists, strengthen creative pathways, and invest in the future of the arts across our city.

This page will continue to celebrate the wonderful history of Friends of the Arts, but we'd love you to join us as we take the next step.
