Kennedy Center Faces Funding Turmoil
February 11, 2026·13 days ago·via Politico
The Kennedy Center, now rebranded as the Trump Kennedy Center under President Trump's board control, grapples with severe funding chaos amid a planned two-year closure starting July 2026 for major renovations. Top performers have canceled shows over politics, ticket sales plummet, and internal clashes erupt between president Richard Grenell and COO Sarah Dale, who both dismiss reports of turmoil as "total BS" while claiming $130 million raised in 2025.
