La Motte Ateljee


OPEN TIMES
Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Hol
Wednesday to Sunday:
10h00 - 17h00



The Ateljee at La Motte in Franschhoek is a creative space to engage with artworks, artists, and makers.

Continuing the La Motte family’s passion for art, the Ateljee, meaning "studio" in Afrikaans, is a creative space to engage with artworks, artists and makers.

The interactive exhibitions at the gallery change seasonally.

"Landmarks", the latest exhibition in the La Motte Ateljee, explores the idea of landmarks through two distinct yet deeply connected materials: leather and watercolour. Each, in its own way, marks time, preserves history, and tells a story of the land.

Visitors to the La Motte Ateljee can expect warm, earthy tones and textures reminiscent of rich soil and the full-bodied hue of red wine, marking a seasonal shift and a landmark in time.

The exhibition also includes a series of engaging workshops, and visitors can purchase products crafted by the featured artists at the La Motte Farm Shop.

Opening hours

Wednesday to Sunday, 10h00 – 17h00

Closed on Christian religious holidays.

The La Motte brand association with art acknowledges the appreciation that its owner, Hanneli Rupert-Koegelenberg, has for the arts and their preservation, a passion she shares with her late parents, Dr Anton and Mrs Huberte Rupert.
