THE REDHILL ARTS FESTIVAL RETURNS Launched in 2017, the Redhill Arts Festival quickly rose to popularity as THE place to celebrate and enjoy the arts in one venue. Every year, the festival has attracted a several rising artists and performers while also showcasing some of the country's finest talent.

Joseph Gerassi, Executive Head at Redhill School, says this year's arts festival has a much more important role to play than in previous years.

The Joburg community is only just beginning to emerge from two years of lockdown, restrictions and chances to connect, not to mention a scarcity of opportunities to enjoy and celebrate the arts, said Gerassi.

The Redhill Arts Festival aims to deliver on both fronts. Families and friends can get together to make some much-needed memories, while also enjoying some of the finest dramatic productions and musical performances that South Africa has to offer .

There is lots on offer at the Redhill Arts Festival this year. Image: Supplied WHAT TO EXPECT THIS YEAR This year, the Redhill Arts Festival will see the Redhill School's extensive grounds utilised to the full. Festival-goers can look forward to an outdoor music festival, a variety of theatre productions, a carefully-curated art exhibition and a magical children's entertainment area.

The festival also aims to provide something for everyone, paired with an outdoor farmer's market and indoor coffee shop to enjoy in between productions.

Not only are we hoping to provide the wider Joburg community with an event unlike anything else that they have experienced in Gauteng, but any surplus funds raised will be used to broaden the scope of next year's event, reach an even wider audience and ensure that all artists are paid generously for the many months of work that go into each production, said Gerassi.

REDHILL'S STUDENT-LED MEDIA COMPANY TAKES CENTRE STAGE Redhill School's student-led media company, RedMedia, will be covering the Redhill Arts Festival, before and after the event.

The school has a 24-hour radio station and a film studio that is used to market the event to other schools.
