Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
Performing Arts
[The arts'] place is not on the periphery of daily life, but at its center.
About us
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (LCPA) is a cultural and civic cornerstone of New York City. The primary advocate for the entire Lincoln Center campus, our strategic priorities include: fostering collaboration and deepening impact across the Lincoln Center resident organizations; championing inclusion and increasing the accessibility and reach of Lincoln Center’s work; and nurturing innovation on stage and off to help ensure the arts are at the center of civic life for all. LCPA presents hundreds of programs each year, offered primarily for free and choose-what-you-pay, including many specially designed for young audiences, families, and those with disabilities. The 11 resident organizations include: The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Film at Lincoln Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Juilliard School, Lincoln Center Theater, The Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, New York Philharmonic, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, the School of American Ballet, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. **Campus photography by Mark Bussell

Congratulations to Shanta Thake, EVP, Ehrenkranz Chief Artistic Officer, for being selected as a member of the inaugural class of the Michael D. Eisner Arts and Culture Fellowship at The Aspen Institute! We applaud this extraordinary cohort of arts and culture leaders 👏
Congratulations to the inaugural Michael D. Eisner Arts and Culture Fellows! Today, The Aspen Global Leadership Network (AGLN) in collaboration with the Aspen Institute Arts Program and Eisner Foundation introduced the first class of the Michael D. Eisner Arts and Culture Fellowship. The 26 Fellows represent a dynamic cross-section of creative leadership—artists and performers, studio executives and gallery owners, filmmakers, musicians, playwrights, producers, and cultural entrepreneurs—brought together by a shared belief in the arts as a vital force for positive change in the world. “Seventy-five years of the Aspen Institute has been, at its core, one sustained argument: that leaders who pause to examine their values change more than themselves. This Fellowship class makes that argument visceral. These are the people who decide which stories get told, which art gets made, and who gets to participate in culture at all—which means they’re also deciding, in ways both subtle and sweeping, how the rest of us understand the world we’re living in. Give them a room, a challenge, and each other. What comes out the other side reaches far beyond any stage or screen or gallery wall.” - Dar Vanderbeck, Vice President, Aspen Global Leadership Network, Aspen Institute.

Good programming doesn’t just feed your audiences' tastes—it grows them. On the latest episode of CI to Eye with Monica Holt, Shanta Thake, Chief Artistic Officer at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, reflects on the role of cultural institutions in the age of streaming algorithms. Her take? It’s about inviting audiences into community and discovery, rather than assuming we know what they’ll like. Listen → https://bit.ly/3X1Ei1t

How can we center arts institutions in public imagination as spaces for shared experiences that widen the aperture of understanding and open our hearts and minds to each other’s stories? Our President and CEO, Mariko Silver, sat down with Anna Deavere Smith, Lonnie G. Bunch III, and Yana Peel this summer to discuss how arts organizations can keep art alive and flourishing in public life on the Aspen Ideas to Go podcast. We are so grateful to the communities who come together here at Lincoln Center and everywhere artists are carrying us forward. Listen at https://bit.ly/4nHegLW
