Background/purpose. This study aims to address the limited availability of educational platforms for art appreciation among university students by developing the Home Digital Art Spectacle (HITS) as an online space for performing arts engagement. Materials/methods. The research employed the Borg & Gall R&D model, which involved data collection, planning, initial product development, expert validation, and field trials with undergraduate students in the Performing Arts Education program at Surabaya State University. Instruments included questionnaires, expert assessments, and descriptive statistical analysis. Results. The feasibility test results indicated very high ratings for the HITS platform in terms of website display (89%), content quality (92.5%), and visual appeal (89%). Effectiveness analysis showed a moderate improvement in students’ appreciation skills, with an N-Gain score of 0.43 (medium category). Conclusion. The findings suggest that HITS is a viable digital platform for integrating art, culture, and education. While moderately effective, its development expands opportunities for art appreciation in higher education. Future improvements should focus on interactive features and broader art forms to increase impact. © The Author(s), 2025.
