Lincoln Center's First Mobile App Launches Today
Lincoln Center, the world's leading performing arts center, celebrates summer this year with the official launch of its first mobile app, featuring a wide array of interactive entertainment services sharable through social media. As part of an extensive undertaking to improve the visitor experience while transforming the way a cultural institution informs its patrons about performances and events, Lincoln Center is integrating 21st-century technology throughout its renewed 16 acres with an innovative campus-wide information system (Infoscape).
Lincoln Center's superb offerings will be easier to navigate with the new free app, the first of its kind for a performing arts center of this size. It was designed by the New York office of the global innovation and design firm, IDEO, and developed by Pivotal Labs. This new iPhone app allows visitors to explore the wealth of cultural events happening year round, including the ability to purchase tickets, plan a trip (with dining options), and share with friends what audiences are seeing.
Key features allow users to:· Access a comprehensive and interactive Lincoln Center calendar showing what's on today; explore future events; and buy tickets straight from your phone.· Filter events by performance genres.
· Save the shows you've seen and want to see as My Events. Share the ones you're most excited about by email or posting to Facebook.

· Learn about Lincoln Center's many dining options-and call for reservations straight from the app.
