Welcome to Lincoln Center, home to 11 resident arts organizations. Presenting music, theater, dance, film, opera, and more, our stages bring a tapestry of artists—from across the globe—to New York City.
Opening up the West Side of Lincoln Center
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Lincoln Center West Initiative opens up the Amsterdam Avenue side of Lincoln Center’s campus, creating a more welcoming edge on the west side. The new design incorporates extensive community feedback from an ongoing participatory process that began in 2023. Features include: welcoming entrance that dramatically opens up Amsterdam Avenue to neighbors approaching from the west; community park featuring a lawn, water feature, tree groves and garden for public enjoyment; and new, world-class amphitheater that will improve artist and audience experiences.

All season long, we are celebrating the artistic legacy of the groundbreaking trumpeter, composer, educator, and visionary founder of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Wynton Marsalis. This summer, the inaugural Lincoln Center Contemporary Dance Festival brings some of the most celebrated and innovative international dance companies to NYC between June 18-July 5.
