Whatever one’s take on the Lincoln Center at its 50-year milestone, the institution is certainly doing its part to stimulate the sagging economy. At a time of severe recession, when arts organizations everywhere are cutting back and even going under, Lincoln Center remains committed to its nearly $1 billion renovation project. Arts lovers in New York should be gratified to see the scaffolding and walled-off excavation sites in the plaza. Having long ago chosen the all-together-now approach to creating an performing arts complex, Lincoln Center is determined to make the best of it.
