<p>On September 8, 1971, the Kennedy Center opened its doors to the public. Considered the country’s busiest performing arts center, it hosts around 2,000 events every year. </p><p>
Named after one of America’s most popular presidents, John F. Kennedy, the center is located in a 17-acre area in Washington, D.C. Aside from featuring inspired performances in theater and musicals, dance, drama and music, the center also inculcates arts education into the creative minds of young artists. The institution features new works by emerging artists in the same way that it exposes performances and creations by some of the country’s greatest artists. </p><p>
The Kennedy Center’s Performing Arts for Everyone outreach program offers free performances by national and local artists through early evening concerts and the annual Open House Arts Festival. Holidays at The Kennedy Center presents seasonal music performed in daily concerts. </p><p>
Some of the center’s worthwhile endeavors include two annual dance residency programs catering to the younger audience/enthusiasts. Annual festivals from cities, countries, and regions across the globe are also celebrated like Festival Australia and France Danse. </p><p>
Perhaps one of the center’s most popular programs is the annually produced The Kennedy Center Honors, which is a tribute to the country’s most celebrated artists. It also functions as a fundraising event in support of various programs geared towards the performing arts. Some of the previous honorees include director Steven Spielberg, premiere ballet artist Mikhail Baryshnikov, and the late great Luciano Pavarotti. </p><p>
The Kennedy Center is chaired by Stephen A. Schwazmann with Michael M. Kaiser as President. </p><p>
