The Durban Art Gallery, now in its second century of existence, is home to collections that are as diverse as the eThekwini population.

“Artworks from Europe, the East and Africa, dating from the 15th century to the present, make the gallery a microcosm of the many histories represented here,” says Art Gallery Director, Carol Brown. The Gallery has a comprehensive collection of artworks, and constantly rotates displays from its permanent collection, interspersing them with traveling exhibitions of contemporary and historic pictures and artifacts.

One of the most dramatic manifestations of the Gallery’s process of reinvention is Red Eye @rt. Featured on the first Friday evening of each month, Red Eye has been going strong for over five years, drawing crowds of up to 2000 people at a time. It attracts a young, trendy crowd and features the work of up-and-coming South African artists, designers and performers.
