Crowds outside the David H. Koch Theater, where three of the most revered ballet companies in the world—the Bolshoi Ballet, New York City Ballet, and Paris Opera Ballet—celebrated the 50th anniversary of George Balanchine’s Jewels with an unprecedented joint performance.
Conductor Louis Langrée leads the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra in one of its spirited summer programs.
Dear Friends:
It has been an important year for the arts and for Lincoln Center.
We are living through a moment when discord seems far more common than harmony, and when one of the few things that people across the political spectrum can agree on is that our opportunities to agree have become more fraught and less frequent. Art, however, is the one lasting endeavor that allows us to transcend our differences to discover universal channels of communication, understanding, and joy. It is no surprise that through the arts, we can find our way closer to harmony.
The way that art triumphs is the same way that people triumph: in the spirit of togetherness. Lincoln Center has wholly embraced that spirit over the past 12 months—from bringing together three of the world’s leading ballet companies to share the stage for the historic 50th anniversary of George Balanchine’s Jewels to our legal team working fastidiously to secure visas for the actors of While I Was Waiting, a play conceived and set in Syria. Both took place during this summer’s Lincoln Center Festival, which poignantly presents “art that knows no borders.”
This is the positive momentum that we are seizing upon now to build a strategy for the future of Lincoln Center, which has been going especially strong since welcoming a new president in March. This undertaking has been particularly fortuitous thanks to all of the magnificent support that immediately poured in—from our own campus and Board to supportive New Yorkers and arts lovers worldwide—and continues to humble us as we chart our way forward.
Our goals looking ahead are inspired by our successes in the past year. They include expanding our accessibility for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds through means as diverse as building upon our youth engagement programs to growing our digital outreach with both new technology and our increasing social media presence. It also means continuing to rally all 11 organizations on our campus to stand together as a unified Lincoln Center: a true leader in the performing arts in every sense of the word.
This may sound ambitious, but looking at what we have already done in these past 12 months, there is no reason to think we can’t accomplish everything we set out to do—in the spirit of togetherness, in pursuit of harmony, and through the power of the arts.
Sincerely,
Katherine Farley Debora L. Spar Chair President

In a pair of statements released in February and March of 2017, Lincoln Center and its 11 resident organizations made a compelling case for the continued support of the arts. The statements included data underscoring the positive impact of the arts on culture, social engagement, and education, and demonstrated how the arts fuel local and national economies. Picked up by media outlets across the country, Lincoln Center used its voice as a leader in the arts to support the artists, companies, and audiences in small cities and towns across America who are most vulnerable to funding challenges.
Arts and culture contribute $704.2 billion to the U.S. economy each year.

In addition to Summer Forum and Boot Camp, other highlights of LCE’s initiatives include the Lincoln Center Arts Teacher Award, which, in partnership with the NYC DOE’s Big Apple Awards, contributes $5,000 annually to a chosen recipient for classroom use and is the only DOE-sponsored award recognizing excellence in the arts. LC Scholars, in partnership with Hunter College and the DOE, trains and places top-quality arts teachers in up to 120 NYC public schools. Through another DOE-partnership, the Arts in the Middle program helps integrate the arts into school communities that would otherwise have little or no arts instruction.
Communities
The Community Artist Residencies program provides support for socially engaged artists to create new works with members of our partner organizations such as the Lincoln Square Neighborhood Center and WIN, a transitional housing network. In 2016–17, eight artists created projects based on participants’ interests and concerns, including musician Emma Alabaster (Staten Island), theater-artist Kirya Traber (Bronx), and visual artist and community activist Emmett Wigglesworth (Queens).
Mentor-Linc volunteers playing a theater game with mentees at a kick-off event in September 2016. Family-Linc’s pre-concert event with The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in November included a musical instrument “petting zoo.”

Philanthropic support—along with public funding, bequests, and in-kind contribu-tions—is essential to fulfilling our mission of sharing the world’s best arts with the widest possible audiences.
We are deeply grateful to the many contributors who provide vital support to the cultural, educational, and outreach programs at Lincoln Center. Listed here are those patrons whose annual gifts of $1,000 or more, including in-kind goods and services, are reflected in every exceptional moment within the pages of this Annual Report.
Thank you for your meaningful commitment to the performing arts and to Lincoln Center.
