Lincoln Center Summer Forum 2026 🌟

Earlier this month, Madeleine McGirk Rutherford, ITAC Director, joined the 2026 Lincoln Center Summer Forum in New York, connecting with teaching artists, educators, and cultural leaders from around the world.

As part of this year’s Forum, Madeleine facilitated a workshop exploring the intersection of Arts & Health, inviting participants to reflect on the role of the arts in supporting health, wellbeing, and community.

It was an inspiring week of dialogue, shared practice, and new connections, reaffirming what we know to be true: when artists learn together, our communities grow stronger.

A huge thank you to the Lincoln Center for bringing together such a vibrant international community. 💙

“People often think that the word ‘system’ refers to something separate from us; ‘the system is out there’. But we are talking here about human systems, and these systems are both out there and right here within us.” Over the course of three sessions, Peter Senge (MIT Sloan School of Management) shared his insights on systems thinking and learning within complex change processes

The event “Leading in Today’s Complexity” was organised in partnership with the IDG Foundation and ITAC. In this short summary video, Peter Senge, Mila A. (board member of the IDG Foundation) and Madeleine McGirk Rutherford (director of ITAC) present the key takeaways from these three special days.
