From July 9–12, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts presents Summer Forum, bringing together teaching artists, educators, and practicing artists to engage, share, and imagine the next 50 years of teaching artistry around the world. This is your opportunity to connect with fellow professionals—both locally and internationally—as we learn from the first half century of teaching artistry and dream up the next 50 years. The forum will take place across Lincoln Center’s sprawling campus as part of Summer for the City, offering a four-day immersion into experiential workshops, performances, expert panels, roundtables, and social networking events. It is our hope that you leave the celebration with fresh ideas to propel your creative vision forward; innovative, new tools to incorporate into your practice; and new friends and colleagues for years to come.
