The Rubenstein Arts Center at Duke University, otherwise known as The Ruby, welcomed more than 3,000 visitors as it celebrated its grand opening in February. Joe Van Gogh served coffee outside as people braved the cold until they could enter the building. Inside, they watched performances from various Duke dance groups – including On Tap, Dhamaka and Momentum Dance Company – perused art studios, toured the WXDU radio station studio, ate free doughnuts from Monuts
and more. The Ruby was made possible after a founding gift from David Rubenstein in 2015. The 70,000-square-foot space was designed by Boston-based architecture firm William Rawn Associates and, among other features, has 10 multipurpose studios, a makerspace and a filmscreening theater. Duke expects to hold 30 classes in the center during the spring semester. Find more information about The Ruby’s upcoming events at artscenter.duke.edu.
