Designed by the award winning architect Paolo Deliperi and located adjacent to Groot Constantia, the oldest wine farm in Africa, Three Bones is an artist residency with a distinctive architecture and a unique location.

We run a curated, invitation-only program accommodating three artists at a time in a sprawling residence with purpose-built private studios.

What we offer:

• Compensation for the cost of return airline tickets (Local flights only)

• Complimentary chauffeured transport to and from the city and airport 

• Housekeeping services (Monday - Friday)

• Private bedroom with ensuite bathroom

• Individual artist studio

• Common collaborative working areas

• Large art collection consisting of 60+ pieces, all by South African artists

• Growing art library, including related cross over with science and technology  

• Various dedicated entertainment spaces (i.e. Playstation, piano, table tennis, pool table)

• Access to a multitude of hikes, with property bordering protected heritage environments

• Large swimming pool and extensive gardens

• Fully equipped kitchen and a dedicated braai area

• Complimentary dinners of locally inspired dishes prepared by a professional chef (Monday - Friday)

The residency is entirely pro bono. (No studio fees, no mandatory exhibitions, and no artwork donations.) Our sole objective is to provide artists uninterrupted time and space to think, experiment, and recharge.
