Washington (AP) – President Donald Trump organizes the leadership of the Kennedy Center in the White House on Monday evening and increases how much attention he is devoted to the new formation of a leading cultural center as part of a greater efforts to revise the social and ideological dynamics of the national art scene.

The event is expected to start at 7 p.m. Edt. Take a look at our video player at the top.

The center of the center of the center in the state dining room after Trump released its former members and announced in February that he would act as CEO. The new board, who unanimously approved Trump as chairman, is equipped with loyalists.

One of the members is the chief of staff of the White House of Susie Wiles; Attorney General Pam Bondi; Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance; And Lee Greenwood, whose song “God Bless the USA” plays rallies at Trump and many official events, also during his trip to the Middle East last week.

Trump has described the earlier programming of the center as “awakened” and “terribly”, while she is more generally trying to reduce federal financing for the arts – and to complain that too much programming promotes the left -wing ideology and political correctness.

According to the Republican President and the top leader in his administration, the Kennedy Center can make a major contribution to the creation of new art and a new social culture after his own approaches.

The center has announced that it will be responsible for a week in July in July as part of the World Pride Festival in Washington in Washington.

The White House continued to cancel millions of grapes in previously awarded federal spirit science. And Trump's budget framework has proposed to eliminate the national equipment for the arts and the national equipment for the humanities as a whole.

Trump visited the Kennedy Center in March to lead a meeting of its board, and then complained to the building via “enormous decay”, while the center “is a very important part of DC and actually our country”.

The president has also expressed displeasure with a recently known complexes in which studios, rehearsal rooms and discussion options are available, and he suggests that he would close the rooms because it would not be missing.

In an aesthetic note for the Trump era, the outer lighting of the center has now been changed to show red, white and blue permanently.

The president's changes returned by a large number of artists.

The musical Hamilton reacted to Trump's practical approach by planning it in March and April. Other performers – including the actress and producer Issa Rae and musician Rhiannon Giddens – have scraped the planned appearances in a similar way.

And since Trump took part in a performance by Les Miserables on June 11th on June 11th in the Kennedy Center, the show announced that many second studies could appear by actors due to boycotts.

The political tension is a departure for the Kennedy Center opened in 1971 and was regarded for decades as an apolitical celebration of the arts.

“What was once a non -partisan institution that is dedicated to the arts is now subject to the direct control of a president who wants to impose his ideological vision and dictates artistic priorities in one of the most valued cultural landmarks of the country,” wrote Dina Titus in a recently from the democratic representative.

As a rule, President generally appoint members of the Kennedy Center board in consultation with members of the congress. After that, they often do not have much contact to lead the center, except to take part in the annual honors of the Kennedy Center.

“You are one of the best -known, living playwrights of America and still strongly write,” said Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1984 and spoke the author Miller, who was one of Kennedy Center's award winners in Kennedy Center. It was an example of a commander -in -chief of the Cold War who praised a writer who had well -known associations with communist groups.

In 2019, the center organized an exhibition of the paintings by former Republican President George W. Bush.

Trump, who names “Citizen Kane” as one of his favorite film and said he once considered studying film at the University of Southern California, mainly ignored the center during his first term. He was the first president to jump routinely to take part in the Honor's ceremony. But he did not return when a award winner, producer Norman Lear, threatened not to participate if the president did it.

In his second term, Trump was far more aggressive and proactive – as he has on many political and political fronts. He quoted some drag show appearances in the middle as the reason to completely transform them.

“Come here and take a look at it and you will see that it will be physically improved physically over time,” said Trump during his visit to Kennedy Center in March. “And we will get some very good shows.”
