The Kromdraai Valley lies in the heart of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage site, 45 minutes from the centers of Johannesburg and Tshwane. It is a destination for diverse cultural, environmental, social, and scientific impact, led by philanthropic initiatives including the NIROX Foundation, Villa-Legodi Centre for Sculpture, and Columba Leadership Residency.

Kromdraai Impact Hub joins these initiatives to provide residencies, projects, and workshops for collaborative creativity that have a positive social impact.

It draws from and expands on NIROX Foundation’s extensive experience in providing residencies, exhibitions, workshops, concerts, and facilitating projects for artists from all disciplines.

The Hub has a bifocal approach, utilizing creativity to inspire and empower local disadvantaged communities, while also providing expert learning and growth opportunities for creatives and social activists of all kinds. Projects are typically hosted by subject masters, driven to elevate others through creativity, empathy, and shared social purpose.
