Guided by the theme of sustainability, the 5th Annual Duke Arts Festival took place over a ten-day period from Friday, October 25 through Sunday, November 3, and packed the campus with exhibitions, performances, guest artists, and special events.
The first event of the festival, weeks earlier than its main block, on September 20, was the communal construction of "Fort Duke"— a structure erected in front of Duke Chapel, made from a world-record-setting 3500 cardboard boxes collected after move-in. James B. Duke, the fort's main occupant, acquired a stylish scarf for the occasion, made by local environmental artist Bryant Holsenbeck from discarded plastic bottles.
