Actress and producer Issa Rae, created and starred in HBO Insecurealso announced on Instagram that she will cancel the soon-to-be-sold out appearance. When visiting the Kennedy Center website to attend an event, users will encounter 404 error messages.

She wrote: “Hey DC FAM, thank you so much for selling the Kennedy Center’s ‘Night with My Night’. Unfortunately, since I think it’s an infringement of the value of a faithful institution through all mediums, all backgrounds Famous artist, I decided to cancel my appearance on this venue.”

Singer and songwriter Ben Folds announced on Facebook that he will serve as an advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra.

"It's not for me," he said. He thanked his colleagues, adding, "Mainly, most importantly, I'll miss the musicians of our national symphony orchestra - the best!"

The rock band’s low-slung Connie also got rid of their scheduled performance: “I’m excited to be part of this amazing institution’s social impact series that emphasizes community, joy, justice and equity through the arts. After learning about this institution, a nonpartisan that has been hosted by President Trump himself and his regime for 54 years, I don't think I'm going to perform there."

Trump's newly appointed board now includes Second Lady Usha Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi and former U.S. Secretary of Labor, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell (Mitch McConnell) wife Elaine Chao.

In 1958, former President Eisenhower signed bipartisan legislation to establish the National Center for the Arts in Washington. Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline raised $30 million for the project. The building was dedicated to Kennedy two months after being assassinated in 1963.
