Pineapple Lab on Housing their Artists-In-Residence with Boutique Serviced Apartments
“MyTown’s boutique serviced apartments allows us to receive artists in the city without having to worry about their accommodation. This in and of itself is already such a relief, but its all-in offering avoids bill-shocks at the end of the month, which is very important for us too.
Each of our Artists-In-Residence loved their time at MyTown; to them, it’s truly a home away from home. The fact that a few of our Artists-In-Residence have shown their movies, live performances and artwork at MyTown, and that we’ve been blessed to have many MyTown tenants visit Pineapple Lab to experience the art we showcase indicates to me that MyTown is a blissfully convenient and wonderfully supporting community to stay at.“

In 2017, and as part of its commitment to fostering new artists, Pineapple Lab
launched its Artists-In-Residence program where, after a rigorous selection process,
Filipino artists (living in the Philippines or abroad) at different levels of their
development are mentored, supported and provided the time to hone and craft their
works in Manila without having to worry about making ends meet.

Why MyTown
Finding housing that is affordable, acceptable and accessible is one of the major headaches for Pineapple Lab’s artists-in-residence, especially when they fly in from abroad. To ensure artists can fully concentrate on making art, Pineapple Lab needed a housing provider that could ensure a seamless move-in and ultra-convenient stay. Moreover, Pineapple Lab was keen to partner up with a housing provider who shared the same goals: creativity, originality and community.
MyTown’s marketing team addressed these concerns in the following ways:
Onboarding Process
Pineapple Lab performed a full walk-through of the facilities with its first ever Artist-In-Residence, and MyTown’s quick turnaround on contracting and check-in procedures allowed the tenant to move in the same day.
