culture on the coast, all the good stuff
rabbit + cocoon is a new(ish) creative precinct that provides spaces and resources for motivated people to run arts practices, businesses and events that contribute towards the Gold Coast’s cultural ecology. They also stage programs and events that promote a vibrant and sustainable arts community. They are a Not-for-Profit artist-run collective.
Recently I was involved in their fashionably conscious event, where local designers showcased their wares. The night was a great success and all proceeds went to charity (in this case youngcare). It’s great to see that the Gold Coast arts scene is being fostered by initiatives such as this.. keep it up!
This little film sums up the night:
