The Kennedy Center has requested a federal judge to pause deadlines in an ongoing lawsuit as the center explores options for renovation. The historic arts center is considering three paths forward, including closing the center while renovations take place, hosting limited events in areas not affected by the renovations, or closing the center periodically to address serious repairs while maintaining a full slate of programming.
Renovation Options
Leaders at the center expect to present the three options to President Donald Trump’s hand-picked board of trustees for a vote in mid-July. The center’s planned closure has been indefinitely blocked by a federal judge in Washington, DC, who ruled that its board had unlawfully voted in favor of the shutdown plans.
