Icons (FREE Outdoor Exhibition + Launch Party)
May 1–15 | The Pink Hotel, Coolangatta
A fence line turned gallery documents a coastline in transition. Icons will wrap the perimeter of the landmark Pink Hotel in a striking series of large-scale black & white photographs to create a raw, visual tribute to the people, places and moments that have shaped the Gold Coast’s coastal culture.
Set against the backdrop of the recently heritage-listed Pink Hotel, sparing it from redevelopment, the exhibition carries a quiet irony. As one landmark is preserved, moments fade. Icons documents a snapshot of what’s been, what remains, and what’s endured to become iconic.
Expect a powerful mix of local legends, iconic surf imagery, and lost landscapes from demolished haunts to reimagined coastlines.
This is an open-air, walk-by exhibition.
Launch Night: Wednesday May 6
Kick things off with rooftop sunset drinks at the Pink Hotel, before heading downstairs to Eddie’s Bar for a film night celebrating surf, projections and more.
Unpolished, nostalgic and unmistakably Gold Coast, Icons is both a tribute and a snapshot of a culture in flux.
