2026年6月12日周五，民众驻足观看华盛顿特区肯尼迪中心内搭建脚手架的工人。
据两名知情人士透露，由唐纳德·特朗普总统任命的肯尼迪中心董事会第二次投票决定关闭这家表演艺术机构进行整修。
消息人士称，董事会同时投票决定在肯尼迪中心的标牌下方增加一段铭文，写明这座艺术综合体“由唐纳德·J·特朗普总统修复翻新”。
他们补充说，作为整修计划的一部分，董事会投票决定保留与主楼分离的附属场馆REACH对外开放，该场馆将举办小型演出。
今年大部分时间里，这座历史悠久的艺术中心一直处于法律悬置状态并遭遇诸多风波：肯尼迪中心突然宣布关闭两年以进行整修的决定引发了广泛审查，而总统此前试图将该机构以自己的名字重新命名。
特朗普今年早些时候宣布了关闭该中心的计划，他称该中心“状况糟糕”，并将重塑华盛顿这座文化机构作为其第二任期的优先事项。去年12月，董事会投票决定将其更名为“特朗普肯尼迪中心”。
但在今年5月，一名联邦法官叫停了该中心为期两年的关闭计划，要求董事会在整修期间考虑保留部分节目运营，以履行其国会赋予的职责。
华盛顿特区联邦地区法官凯西·库珀（Casey Cooper）还表示，该中心董事会在表演艺术场馆添加特朗普名字的行为违反了法律。
由前总统巴拉克·奥巴马任命的库珀写道：“设立该中心的法律明确表明，中心应以肯尼迪总统命名，且董事会无权单方面将其更名为其他正式名称或设立其他公共纪念标识。”
此前多名知情人士告诉CNN，该机构还面临门票销量下滑、艺术家退出、政治争议以及员工缩减等问题，这使得重启全面节目安排面临重重困难。
根据法院命令，特朗普的名字已于6月从肯尼迪中心的外立面移除。场馆名称仍被大型防水布遮盖。
其中一名知情于周四投票的人士表示，此次将特朗普名字添加在标牌下方并非“重新命名”中心的举措。另一名消息人士则称，此举将成为“永久性提醒”，提醒人们注意他对该机构的破坏。

President Donald Trump’s handpicked board of the Kennedy Center has voted a second time to close the performing arts institution for renovations, according to two people who were briefed on the decision.
The board also voted to add an inscription below the Kennedy Center’s sign, saying the arts complex was “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump,” the sources said.
As part of the renovation plan, the board voted to keep open part of the complex separate from the main building, called the REACH, which will host smaller scale shows, they added.
The historic arts center has been in legal limbo and faced drama for much of the year as the Kennedy Center’s abrupt decision to close for a two-year renovation drew scrutiny and after the president attempted to rename the institution after himself.
Trump had announced plans earlier in the year to close the center, which he said was “in bad condition” as he has made reshaping the Washington institution a priority in his second term. In December, the board of trustees voted to rename it the Trump Kennedy Center.
In May, however, a federal judge blocked the center’s planned two-year closure, demanding the board consider maintaining some programming during renovations to carry out its congressionally mandated activities.
US District Judge Casey Cooper in Washington, DC, also said the center’s board violated the law when it added Trump’s name to the performing arts venue.
The law establishing the center “makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so,” wrote Cooper, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama.
The institution has also faced slumping ticket sales, artist withdrawals, political controversies and a diminished staff, which have made it challenging to restart a full-scale programming schedule, multiple sources familiar with the matter previously told CNN.
Trump’s name was removed from the facade of the Kennedy Center in June after the court order. The institution name remains hidden by large tarps.
One of the sources briefed on the Thursday vote said that the idea is that Trump’s name now being included below the sign is not a move to “rename” the center. Another source said it would serve as a “permanent reminder” of his undermining of the institution.
CNN has reached out to the Kennedy Center for comment.
