The Kennedy Center board, largely appointed by President Trump, voted last month to close the facility for two years for a $285 million renovation. This decision follows a partial ceiling collapse during a rainstorm, captured on security video, which raised safety concerns. The board also voted to re-add Trump's name to the building, a move challenged in court. A federal judge had previously ordered the name's removal. The center's programming ended in early July, and officials say it is running out of money. A court hearing and board meeting are scheduled for Tuesday.
