Fibro Coast

La Costa Motel

In the era before motels and resorts, a holiday at the Gold Coast usually meant either pitching a tent and camping by the beach or staying in a modest Fibro cottage. The simplicity of these humble places shaped the way that generations experienced their time by the beach. In a creative celebration of the cultural, artistic, architectural and design legacy of the loved fibro beach house, Fibro Coast Exhibition presented at The Arts Centre Gold Coast, provides another look at these quiet and disappearing places through the eyes of an artist. A selection of Fibro Coast exhibiting artists have been invited to make site-specific installations specially for Bleach* Festival at some of the last remaining pockets of fibro beach house architecture on the Southern Gold Coast.
