See about register for US arts venue (7,6)

I believe the answer is:

lincoln center

'us arts venue' is the definition.
(Manhattan arts venue)

'see about register for' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lincoln' (see can mean an area associated with a bishop).
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for circa).
'register for' becomes 'enter' (I've seen this in another clue).
'lincoln'+'c'+'enter'='LINCOLN CENTER'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
