Move over Paris… Bathurst has its own ‘Loovre’!
Forget jetting off to France - the smallest village art gallery in the Eastern Cape packs more charm per square metre than the Mona Lisa’s smile. Housed inside the Curiosity Shoppe (corner of Trappe & York Road), The Loovre is home to charming original local art and is brimming with creativity.

🖼 Open Tuesday–Sunday, 9am–2pm
📞 Riaan Jacobs - 063 236 3028

Come for the art, stay for the curiosity… and tell your friends you’ve “been to The Loovre.” 😉
