Support the Ruby
Grow Campus Creativity
The Ruby is Duke’s home for art making and creative exploration. In the Ruby, professional visiting artists collaborate with students, faculty and the local community. Students take residence in artist studios to create new work. Popular DukeCreate workshops teach new skills, while performances in film, dance and theater engage and excite audiences.
Your gift to Duke Arts supports programs in the Ruby as we create an innovative arts education experience on campus.
