Year of the Arts: Featured Events
Much Ado About Nothing
April 10-19
Rutgers University–Camden Theater presents "Much Ado About Nothing." No ordinary romantic comedy, dangers abound in this Shakespeare classic, famously featuring combative and zesty zingers from the prototypical sparring lovers, Beatrice and Benedick.
Past Events
Ranky Tanky
Thursday, March 6, 2025
Year of the Arts presents Ranky Tanky. The two-time Grammy-winning jazz ensemble rooted in the sounds and traditions of South Carolina’s Gullah region, will bring its lush vocal harmonies and expert musicianship to the historic Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood, NJ. The show—much like the band itself—promises a blending of cultures and a collision of the new and familiar. Year of the Arts programming aims to introduce the Rutgers–Camden community to new styles and ideas while relying on the transcendent, universal power of artistic expression to bring diverse audiences together.
