The Alexander Art Academy’s Annual Showcase presents a collection of artworks by a community of artists under the mentorship of Marc Alexander. This event is both a celebration of their creativity and accomplishments, as well as an opportunity to reflect on the skills and knowledge they have gained. The displayed pieces showcase a wide range of styles, techniques, and mediums, with each artist focusing on their unique style, talent, and artistic preferences to create their finest work.
2026 marks our sixth exhibition and will be showcased at the Iziko Learning Centre at Groot Constantia wine estate from 7 February to 27 March 2026. The exhibition will also feature a selection of artwork by art teacher and mentor Marc Alexander.
The chosen theme is ‘The Living Cape: An Educational Exploration of Nature and Identity‘, inviting viewers into a rich and multifaceted journey through the unique ecology and cultural diversity of Cape Town. Nestled between mountain, ocean, and veld, the Cape is not only home to one of the world’s most extraordinary floral kingdoms, but also to a vibrant tapestry of human stories, languages, traditions, and histories.
The Living Cape is both a visual and educational showcase that explores the deep connections between Cape Town’s natural landscapes and its diverse communities. Through artworks reflecting endemic flora, cultural identity, and historical context, the exhibition highlights the dynamic relationship between people and place, inviting reflection on how the land shapes who we are—and how we, in turn, shape the land.
We welcome you to explore, learn, and engage with this dynamic intersection of nature and identity—an ever-evolving story rooted in one of the most biodiverse and culturally layered regions in the world.
The Living Cape showcase will be open to the public from 10:00 am on Saturday, 7 February. Marc and Lindy Alexander will be present on Saturday, 7 February, and Sunday, 8 February, to meet and greet visitors. Marc will also offer free painting demonstrations every Saturday and Sunday for the duration of the exhibition.
