Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts has just announced Dr. Mariko Silver — ‘a leader in the fields of philanthropy, education, government, and the arts’ — as its next President and Chief Executive Officer.
The arts, you see, come last.
Silver, in her previous job at the Henry Luce Foundation, ‘oversaw the creation of new initiatives supporting Democracy, Ethics, and Public Trust and Asian American Voices, prioritized funding exhibitions of and by American artists of color in art museums across the country, and more than doubled the foundation’s funding commitment to Indigenous communities’ – according to the press release.
All priorities lined up in a row.
