At home in the arts
Cecile Knight is a vital piece of the Gold Coast’s cultural scene, working as an Exhibitions Officer at the HOTA (Home Of The Arts). With exhibitions often planned years in advance, Cecile works closely with planners, curators, engineers, painters, and artists to execute some of the region’s most prominent exhibitions.
