KROMDRAAI VALLEY
FARMHOUSE58 is an integral part of a growing community of cultural, environmental, personal well-being and educational initiatives in the Kromdraai Valley.
NIROX is a non-profit foundation established 17 years ago for the benefit of the arts. It has extensive reach and impact with local and international artists, who have come to regard it as a part of South African contemporary culture.
‘And then there was fire…’, woodfired grill and tapas bar, and the Lawn Pavilion Café, provide exceptional fare for visitors to the Sculpture Park.
NATURA co-lab is located in the water pavilion overlooking the lawns and waterways of the park. It is a cross-disciplinary concept store with unique fashion, design, homeware and lifestyle objects dedicated to the idea that art is a part of everyday life.
The Villa-Legodi Centre for Sculpture is a partnership between the Claire and Edoardo Villa Will Trust and NIROX. It is a generative space for artists, curators, writers, and cultural practitioners to create and share. Its objective is to foster the arts, especially sculpture, by enabling the production of new works and to pay tribute to the life and work of Edoardo Villa and his long-time collaborator Lucas Legodi.
Kromdraai Impact Hub was recently established in the historic 1970s farmer’s residence on our adjoining farm. It comprises a generously proportioned 5-bedroom home with workshop, co-working and communal facilities which function as an independent residency for groups engaged with creativity and social impact
Sports & Wellbeing in the Valley – an explosion of cyclists, runners, hikers and nature lovers flock to the Cradle. We are engaged with local government, international and local donors to establish facilities that will serve the community and visitors to the Cradle.
Kromdraai Community Centre – in partnership with social entrepreneurs, landowners and residents of Ptn 26 Informal Settlement we are developing community facilities that draw on the the resources of the Matla Combined School, the high traffic of cyclists and runners in the Cradle and the support of the CoHWHS Management Authority.
