On June 28, the Kennedy Center remained partially obscured by a tarp and scaffolding. This followed a federal appeals court ruling on Wednesday, which dismissed former President Trump’s attempt to keep his name on the building in Washington, D.C.

Since June 13, the signage has been under wraps. According to recent court documents, the executive director confirmed that Trump’s name has been removed. The U.S. District Court of Appeals ruled that Trump did not demonstrate how the removal would cause ‘irreparable injury’ to the arts center.

NPR reached out to the Kennedy Center for comments, but they did not provide an immediate response.

Trump’s legal team argued that the removal would incur damage concerning time and financial investments already made. They claimed it would also hinder fundraising and lead to the center’s financial decline. However, the appeals court judges, Patricia Millett, Robert Wilkins, and Gregory Katsas, noted that no evidence supported these claims. The assertions made by the Kennedy Center’s Executive Director, Matt Floca, were deemed speculative and lacking factual evidence.

The decision is part of ongoing legal proceedings initiated by Representative Joyce Beatty against Trump and the Kennedy Center’s board. Judge Christopher R. Cooper, overseeing the case, has demanded that the center provide an operational and programming status report by the end of the month.

Currently, the center’s schedule features a modest lineup, including free outdoor movie screenings, children’s workshops, and live performances in July on its Millennium Stage. Previously, the center hosted over 2,000 arts and education events annually, including free daily shows on the Millennium Stage.
