ADMIRALS RESIDENCE program | We are collaborating on different platforms with International and local artists

The ADMIRALS RESIDENCE is a privately established program to study and live the artist mindset. The Program is collaborating at the intersection of art, science and entrepreneurial thinking. The flagship projects of the house are the ADMIRALS GRANT, and curated Salon Dinners meanwhile ‘liveWORK’ is powering our engine. Initiated with the idea and acquisition of a suitable property for the residence in 2010. Our work in Muizenberg is aiming to provide infrastructure, stepping stones and important landmarks for artists looking to develop a synergetic artist community network and navigating the challenges of creating impact in a world that seems to be in urgent need to preserve the power of appropriate engagement and meaningful perception of images. We are openly calling to collaborate on different platforms through our ADMIRALS RESIDENCE brand collection and explore with International and local artists eager to use our co-living environment as a laboratory to either establish or grow their skill towards a thriving network and a strong career in art.

What we offer during the program…

The ADMIRALS GRANT – artist in residency program | hosts a maximum of 4 resident artist simultaneously for whom accommodation and food is provided. Mid Term a 5 course Salon Dinner menu at our “The SINGLE | TABLE” – Restaurant gives a featured guest artist or speaker the opportunity to deeply engage and closely contribute towards the outcome of the process and inspire our key audience and artist in residence. A Final Exhibition closes of the grants program.

… Who is the program for

If you are an artist or individual and the term of an ‘artist mindset’ speaks to you, you can apply for a fully or partially funded residency as long as they share our belief in the practice of collaboration and co-working on projects that will empower art. If the below practices are part of your artistic journey: Performance, Open Mic, Reading, Talks, Events, rehearsals and pop up location to showcase ideas and art. We will be able to bring it to life for you.

Welcome to ‘villa sundowner’ as the former Admiral called his residence.

The sun sets behind the saddles of mountains stretching from Cape Point via Muizenberg peak towards table mountain. Visitors and residents get inspired sitting in the garden whilst seeing the face of the mountain shift colour. Reside where the wetlands meet the mouth of Zandvlei and the dunes lead to the shores. Gently rolling swells collide on the banks on perfectly calm days along the northern rim of false bay. Fierceful south east winds blast the flats rising to the north and north westerly storms invade across the same rocky faces where you see the rose sun set on the peacefull days. 

The residence is a source of inspiration for aspiring artists today. The beautifully designed cape dutch building provides massive opportunity and chances to face and collaborate on artistic challenges.

All projects are run by the #Muizenberglovestories team today. We host the program called the ‘Admirals Artist Residence’, prepare breakfast and dinner. This enables all participating artists to set their focus entirely on their work practice and showcase their art.
