One of the much anticipated events in this year's Celebrate Durban Heritage season is Red Eye: Ready? a multi-media arts event which will be staged at the Durban Art Gallery on Friday 25 September at 7.30pm.

The Red Eye concept was conceived in 1998 at the Durban Art Gallery. The initiative was started to create a platform for new, up-and-coming artists to exhibit their work in a prominent space, and to make art accessible to all.

It has now been three years since the last event and the Red Eye committee have regrouped and are planning on reviving the concept with a one night only spectacle in true vintage Red Eye tradition.  "Red Eye:  Ready?"  will mark the dawning of a new era for the Durban inner city. The title poses the question of whether Durban is up to the challenge of once again being a platform for the most popular arts event to date, and also to dare artists and the public to step up and be part of this exciting venture.
