## Resource

The Kennedy Center is closing for a full year—September 2024 to August 2025—for a $50 million overhaul, including theater upgrades, new seating, backstage improvements, climate control fixes, and enhanced accessibility. They’re also rolling out a fresh rebrand with a new logo to modernize the iconic venue and ensure it remains a premier cultural hub for future generations. Funding comes from a mix of government support and private donations. Don’t plan a visit until September 2025—when it’ll reopen as a revitalized destination for artists and audiences alike.
