The GREEN at Lincoln Center

About 14,000 square feet of Lincoln Center's concrete plaza will be transformed into an expansive "lawn" to welcome New Yorkers to its cultural campus.
Designed by Mimi Lien, set designer (Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812) and MacArthur Genius, "The GREEN" will open on May 10th and be the heart of Lincoln Center's Restart Stages initiative to bring back performances and help revive the arts sector. The artificial lawn, surrounding the Revson Fountain in front of the Metropolitan Opera house, features swooping sides, seating areas, and a snack bar.
