“In Bloom II” Is a fascinating mixed media exhibition of indigenous flora at the Casa Labia Gallery in Muizenberg which runs until the 4th of March 2012.
Casa Labia Cultural Centre in Muizenberg in collaboration with Africa Nova Boutique is proud to once again host an exhibition of floral-inspired art. An incredibly exciting collection of artists have been hard at work creating pieces exclusively for the exhibition and the show will offer the art lover a wide diversity of offerings to enjoy.

Built in 1929 to reflect the spirit of 18th century Venice, Casa Labia is the former Muizenberg residence of Count and Countess Natale Labia.
Following a complete two-year restoration by the family, this much-loved national monument was re-opened to the public on 5 May 2010 as South Africa's most exquisite multi-functional cultural centre. Available for hire as an up-market venue, Casa Labia is home to a contemporary South African art gallery, an uber-stylish Africanova boutique as well as a celebrated Italian café.
Open Tuesday – Sunday 10h00-16h00
