WASHINGTON
– The board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts voted to immediately close the bulk of the iconic institution for the next two years as it undergoes renovations pushed by President Donald Trump and his administration.
The Sept. 15 vote to close immediately comes after the board passed a resolution the previous month to shutter the center, arguing that the facility is in such disrepair that it poses safety concerns.
Earlier in the day, a federal judge blocked the Trump-aligned Kennedy Center from inscribing Trump's name on the building to honor his financial support for the center.
