U.S. President Donald Trump announced Friday that he is removing multiple members from the Kennedy Center’s Board of Trustees, including its chairman, citing a need for alignment with his vision for a "Golden Age in Arts and Culture."
In a social media post, Trump stated, "I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our vision." He further declared that a new board will soon be announced, with him as the chairman.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, located in Washington, D.C., serves as a cultural hub, hosting over 2,000 events annually. It is also the official home of the National Symphony Orchestra and the Washington National Opera.
Trump’s move marks a significant shake-up at the Kennedy Center, an institution established as a living memorial to former President John F. Kennedy. While details on the new board members remain undisclosed, Trump’s involvement is expected to bring a shift in the center’s leadership and direction.
The decision has already sparked discussions among political and cultural circles, with some questioning the implications for the center’s governance and artistic independence. Given Trump’s influence and polarizing leadership style, the restructuring of the board is likely to generate widespread debate in the arts community.
As Trump prepares to take the helm, the focus now turns to how his leadership will impact the Kennedy Center’s future and its role in shaping the national arts and cultural landscape.
