Gather Round
Cheers to the return of Horizon! Join us for a drink to celebrate at QTouring’s Gather Round — a hyper-local networking night for the arts.
Presented by QTouring, Queensland’s statewide touring service, Gather Round is a casual evening of networking for artists, producers, and presenters from the Sunshine Coast and surrounds.
Enjoy a round, or two, on the house as this laid-back evening drops the formalities to help foster relationships within the community, and spark conversations that drive projects forward.
Afterwards, join us for a drink and live DJ before you experience some of Horizon’s vibrant offerings — a special discounted rate can be accessed by guests to attend Hold Me Closer Tony Danza in the Black Box Theatre following Gather Round.
