Duke Arts Block Party 2024

Launch into the new school year with a block party from Duke Arts and the Nasher Museum! Open to all undergrads, mingle with classmates while enjoying food, live music, workshops, and of course–art!

The party starts at 4 PM at the Nasher Museum with a photo booth, art activities, music, and a snack and drink bar.

At 5:30 PM, the Bulltown Strutters will lead a New Orleans-style parade across Campus Drive to the Ruby, where you’ll find food trucks, the interactive exhibition AS WATER FALLS, arts workshops where you can screenprint your own t-shirt and make a new Swiftie bracelet, a concert by hyperpop rising star Father Koi, and more.

Duke Arts Block Party locations:

4—5:30 PM: The Nasher Museum
5:30—8 PM: The Rubenstein Arts Center

Part of Arts Welcome Week, this annual event is a fun way to explore the campus arts scene while meeting & catching up with classmates across Duke.
