Virtual Events in the Arts

Check here for an up-to-date listing of arts events from across Duke University. Unless otherwise noted, all events are free and open to everyone. (Duke students: you can also check Duke Groups for student organization event information!)

Duke Performances is excited to continue our virtual season – The Show Must Go Online! High-quality, commissioned films featuring artists originally slated for in-person performances will premiere on Vimeo for ticket holders. Each film, shot following local safety protocols, is made in collaboration with an audio and video crew in each artist’s home city. General admission tickets are $20; Duke student tickets are free.

While the Nasher Museum is closed to the public, visit online exhibition tours or enjoy video interviews. The Nasher is open to Duke students, staff, and faculty by appointment, and starting this spring, for special drop-in hours on Thursdays.

Each weekday at 5pm, Duke Chapel livestreams its carillon bells. Duke Chapel music staff also offer up a weekly video series exploring the history and meaning behind music previously performed or sung in the Chapel.

Enjoy online programming and dance lessons from ADF year-round!

While we all continue to practice social distancing, why not catch up on a few award-winning docs? The Full Frame team has pulled together several themed lists of past festival films that are now streaming online.

Duke Cinematic Arts is reinventing its series to bring independent films into your home: Screen/Society is, for now, Stream/Society.

As we practice social distancing, we have online offerings to help you learn and stay well from home! Refreshed monthly, these workshops are presented with a variety of partners across Duke University.

Join an upcoming DEMAN Live Zoom session with Duke alumni currently working in creative industries for tips on how to navigate opportunities at this time. Team DEMAN has also created a timely tip sheet for students with questions about jobs and internships.

The Roots Program is a series of workshops and lectures on technology topics, open to anyone in the Duke community, offering workshops in topics like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, research computing, 3D modeling and fabrication, and more.

This program offers the Duke community opportunities to relax, reenergize, and recharge to reduce stress and anxiety while prioritizing self-care and focusing on the present.
