RedEye is …
A sensory explosion of live art and entertainment. A metropolitan, Warholian art-tastic happening.
Alternative art intersects the gallery scene with a surprise at every turn.
A fundraiser for the non-profit ArtServe, it’s the hottest ticket of the summer.
Art. Food. Film Music. Fun. And more!
Tickets are $10 online, $15 at the door, $75 for VIPs. Visit: www.artserve.org.
One of the original pioneers of graffiti art in New York City, Adams exhibited alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring and later designed the artwork for MoMAs “Music 3.0” exhibit and a section of The Grammy Museum. He will be creating live art, mentoring artists, discussing his work and displaying his new “Trusted Brands” series at the RedEye event.

“For our 25th anniversary, we brought in one of the pioneers who launched the movement that inspired RedEye for an artistic residency in our community” said ArtServe President and CEO Jaye Abbate. “Cey Adams will be working with the Urban League to mentor Dillard High School students, among other projects. His participation in RedEye, along with artists like DJ EFN, provide amazing opportunities for local artists and turbocharges the event for the public.”
Documentary examining hip-hop’s relationship to Cuba with DJ EFN recieves South Florida premiere
“RedEye” will screen the South Florida premiere of Coming Home, a documentary examining hip-hop’s relationship to Cuba featuring hip-hop activist DJ EFN who took cameras onto the island. Winner of “Best Documentary” at The People’s Film Festival in 2013, it was the first documentary to be aired on Sean ‘P.Diddy’ Combs’ new cable network, Revolt.
There will also be a screening of Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child which offers first-hand accounts and rare footage to chronicle the rise, fall and lasting influence of an artist who began with a spray can and created canvases that now sell for more than $1 million.
ArtServe is partnering with Wynwood-based Gummdrops to present Bluejay and other bands that, along with DJ Misha Samson, will provide RedEye’s unique soundtrack. VIP ticketholders gain access to an area where hors d’oeuvres and signature cocktails created by mixologists from Stache 1920 Drinking Den will be served.
