YOUR GIFT WILL HELP SUPPORT WILLFULLY ECLECTIC PROGRAMMING Your tax-deductible gift helps us bring the world’s finest artists to Durham. Direct your support toward your favored style or genre: Classical, Jazz, International, Theater, or Dance. NEW WORK Your gift allows us to expand the number of new works we commission. It provides important financial support as we cultivate original new work that is commissioned, created, and premiered here in Durham. ARTIST RESIDENCIES An artist-in-residence at Duke Performances needs time to create and collaborate and the right venue in which to perform. Your gift allows us to provide more meaningful opportunities to engage with these visiting artists. WWW.SUPPORTDUKEPERFORMANCES.ORG
DUKE PERFORMANCES AT A GLANCE ABOUT DUKE PERFORMANCES Duke Performances, the professional performing arts presenter at Duke University, presents willfully eclectic, forward-thinking performing arts of the highest quality. We offer more than 70 performances and 100 residency events year-round at a dozen different venues at Duke and in Durham. We pride ourselves on providing context for the art we offer through public engagement events on campus and in town. Duke Performances has grown over the past decade, and we need your support to make our work deeper, richer, and more meaningful. DUKE PERFORMANCES’ PROGRAMMING We are proud of our willfully eclectic artistic vision, and we encourage our audience to chart their own adventurous course through each season. No mere roadhouse or tour stop, we build enduring relationships with artists over weeks, months, and years by showcasing innovative work and groundbreaking new commissions. DUKE PERFORMANCES IN THE CLASSROOM We bring context to the classroom. Working in tandem with faculty and teachers, our artists-in-residence help enhance the curriculum. We create a space for young people at Duke and in Durham to learn from the world’s best artists and we open up opportunities for students to be directly involved in the process of artistic creation. DUKE PERFORMANCES' RESIDENCIES The more time artists spend on campus and in the classroom, the more thoroughly Duke Performances can participate in the arts as a patron and creative partner, and the better it can cultivate new generations of arts patrons and practioners. DUKE PERFORMANCES IN THE COMMUNITY All of Durham is our stage. We offer performances in a dozen venues both on campus and in town — as large as DPAC, as small as The Pinhook, and at spaces all across Duke’s campus — giving us the flexibility to match each artist with the right venue.
