The Ebhudlweni Arts Centre

Est. 2015

In 2015 FATC relocated its operations from Johannesburg, Gauteng to the rural area of Emakhazeni, Mpumalanga, and established The Ebhudlweni arts centre. The centre is situated on a cattle and trout farm just outside of Machadodorp and offers its visitors and residents inspiration from the natural world. It is here that silence, breath-taking views, walking trails, birdsongs and waterfalls become active partners in the creative processes hosted at the establishment.

The Ebhudlweni arts centre is the base from which FATC rolls out its dynamic artistic, development and food-security-focus programmes, operating completely off the grid. Our premises is dedicated to sustainable GREEN practices and powered by solar energy and gas. The centre's facilities are equipped with WIFI and can be used for artist retreats, focused training programs and mini-conferencing.

The Ebhudlweni arts centre is a recognised provincial centre of excellence and vibrant hub within the South African and international arts landscape.

Emakhazeni is a hugely under-resourced & under-served rural community location characterised by a severe scarcity of access to Skills Development Opportunities for Children, Youths, Women and Persons with Disabilities in the four towns of the municipality - Belfast/Siyathuthuka, Machadodorp/Emthonjeni, Dullstroom/Sakhelwe & Waterval-Boven/Emgwenya. Our centre's programmes facilitate access-bridging experiences, improve access to arts education through a variety of inclusive arts practices, and provide excellence in artistic research, practice and production.
