Lincoln Center Corporate Fund Junior Business Council

With a master's of urban planning and an MBA from Columbia University, Eric Blair-Joannou gives back to the New York City community through his work as a volunteer, trustee, and council member for numerous nonprofit groups and cultural institutions. Among other organizations, Eric Blair-Joannou serves as the founding co-chair of the Junior Business Council of the Corporate Fund of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

Originally built in the 1960s, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts offers world-class performing-arts programming at 30 indoor and outdoor spaces. Over the decades, major figures from nearly every discipline in the field have appeared at the Lincoln Center, and today leading arts organizations such as The Juilliard School and the School of American Ballet make the center their home. 

In addition to jazz, theater, dance, and other activities, the Lincoln Center maintains a robust youth program, LC Kids. Designed to stimulate the imagination and encourage collaboration through the arts, the LC Kids presents reimagined classic works and original performances throughout the year for children ranging from toddlers to teenagers. 

Exciting productions scheduled for the LC Kids’ 2019 season include the New York premiere of Mouth Open, Story Jump Out by British spoken word artist and storyteller Polarbear. The interactive performances are geared for children from 8 to 11 years of age and will take place January 26 and 27, 2019.
