We look forward to welcoming New Yorkers and visitors alike to discover something new and experience the joy, creativity, and community that make this global city extraordinary.โ€

โ€œThis summerโ€™s focus on international artistry reflects our global city, as well as our commitment to collaboration and artistic exchange. Lincoln Center is a place for community, for belonging, for experiences that help us feel vividly connected to each other and to something larger than ourselvesโ€”a reminder of how truly joyful it is to be together,โ€ said Mariko Silver, President and CEO of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

Silver continued, โ€œWe are committed to making Lincoln Center a public square in the most expansive senseโ€”where global cultures meet local communities, generations come together, and our mission endures: the arts are for everyone.  Weโ€™re thrilled to launch the first performances from the Pasculano Collaborative for Contemporary Dance this summer, as we invest in the next generation of artists and highlight the work of contemporary dance companies from New York City and around the world.โ€

Throughย Lincoln Center Educationโ€™s signature immersive workshops and hands-on labs, participants explore the power of imaginative thinking, the intersections of the arts across schools and civic spaces, and new possibilities for advancing arts education.

Each summer, Lincoln Centerโ€™s outdoor spaces transform through designs by Artist-in-Residence and Summer for the City Visual Director Clint Ramos, inviting New Yorkers to come together, unwind, and share unforgettable artistic experiences under the open sky. This year unveils an entirely new design inspired by the seasonโ€™s focus on dance, with the Revson Fountainโ€”featuring a newly commissioned fountain showโ€”and the Dance Floor as its centerpiece under the dynamic lighting designs of David Weiner.
