Creative director, designer, and producer Clint Ramos is set to join Lincoln Center as Artist-in-Residence.

Ramos is set to be the costume designer for the Met Opera’s recently announced 2026 production of “Tristan und Isolde.” Other projects on campus include leading curation for the 2026 edition of “American Songbook;” developing a new public art and theater piece set for premiere in fall 2025; acting as Visual Director for “Summer for the City;” and collaborating with the Library for the Performing Arts to bring the “Springboard for Design Program” which will allow mentorships for high school students from underrepresented communities to explore American theater design. Finally, he will be hosting a series of “Create-athon” events which allow young people and families an opportunity for hands-on artistic exploration.

“I am honored and thrilled to be named an artist-in-residence at Lincoln Center, a place I have long considered one of my creative homes. This opportunity allows me to further my work in uniting our global community of multidisciplinary artists, fostering collaboration, and creating transformative projects. I am deeply grateful for the support and the space to cultivate ideas that bring us closer together through art,” said Clint Ramos, Artist-in-Residence, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, per an official press release.

“As one of our leading designers, whether it be creating the scenery for Anthony Davis’s seminal opera ‘X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X,’ or designing the costumes for our new production of Tristan und Isolde next season, it’s always artistically rewarding to have Clint working at the Met,” added Peter Gelb, Maria Manetti Shrem General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera.
