The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is set to close most of its main building for renovations after a federal judge blocked an effort to restore President Donald Trump’s name to the institution’s facade. The Kennedy Center’s board of trustees voted Tuesday to close the iconic performing arts venue, citing concerns about the building’s physical condition and the need for major repairs. The decision came just hours after U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that Trump’s name could not be added to the building without congressional approval. The judge’s ruling followed a lawsuit filed by Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat and member of the Kennedy Center board. Beatty challenged the board’s efforts to recognize Trump on the building and rename the plaza in his honor. Cooper previously ruled in May that Trump’s name had been added to the building unlawfully and ordered its removal. The administration complied with that order in June, leaving a tarp-covered section on the facade where the name had appeared. The latest dispute centers on a proposal to add the inscription “Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump” beneath the Kennedy Center’s name. The board also proposed renaming the plaza in front of the building as the “President Donald J. Trump Plaza.” In his ruling, Cooper stated that the board could not install memorials honoring Trump or rename the institution’s grounds without congressional authorization. The renovation plans come amid growing concerns about the Kennedy Center’s financial and structural condition. The building, which began construction in 1965, has experienced deterioration, including a partial ceiling collapse in a main hallway earlier this month. Congress has allocated $257 million for the renovation project. However, Trump has said the work should not proceed unless the legal dispute over his name is resolved in his favor. He has also indicated that the Justice Department would appeal the judge’s decision. The closure is expected to affect performances and programming at one of the United States’ most prominent cultural institutions. The Kennedy Center’s leadership has discussed moving some events to alternative venues during the renovation period. The dispute has placed the future of the arts center at the center of an ongoing legal and political battle over its name, governance, funding and preservation. The Kennedy Center was established as a living memorial to former President John F. Kennedy. Any changes to its official name remain subject to congressional authority under federal law.
