NEW YORK (AP) — Former Bennington College head Mariko Silver was hired Wednesday as president of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
The 46-year-old replaces Henry Timms, who is leaving after five years. Silver will start Sept. 23.
“I grew up in the glow of Lincoln Center and the arts were so important to me in formulating who I am and what I hope to bring to the world,” Silver said Wednesday.
Silver will join planning that has begun for a redevelopment of the western side of Lincoln Center's campus, for six decades far less visible than the eastern side in which most people enter from Broadway.
