Featured Article: Kennedy Center
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (commonly referred to as the Kennedy Center), located on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. opened in 1971, the culmination of almost 40 years of planning, campaigning, and fundraising. The center, the first federally funded performing arts institution in the United States, represents a unique public-private partnership. It is both the nation's living memorial to President John F. Kennedy and the United States' national center for the performing arts.
