John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

As the nation’s cultural center, and a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy, we are a leader for the arts across America and around the world, reaching and connecting with artists, and inspiring and educating communities. We welcome all to create, experience, learn about, and engage with the arts.

The work of the Kennedy Center has been built upon three pillars:

1. Presenting, producing, and curating world-class art;
2. Offering powerful education to people of all ages, everywhere; and
3. Fulfilling our mandate as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy.
