We are excited to partner with Puddingstone Festival on an evening of music at Rough Point! Our founder Doris Duke was a supporter of the arts, as well as a musician, a dancer, and an art collector. We are delighted to host this evening celebrating the performing arts in her home. Join us for an intimate evening of song and chamber music exploring the enduring nature of love, friendship, and human connection.

In partnership with our friends at Charter Books, join us for an event with author Dr. Elizabeth Block as she shares the details and stories that bring garments to life, revealing the personal narratives and politics that shape American clothing.
The evening will begin with an unveiling of a new rotation of fashion objects from Doris Duke’s wardrobe on view in our special exhibition Fashioning Resiliency: Doris Duke’s Legacy of Conservation, followed by an illustrative talk by Dr. Elizabeth Block. Dr. Block will be on hand after the talk to sign and personalize copies of her book.
