Join US
The Promise of US is a call to participate—we invite artists, audiences, and communities alike to join in creating concerts, convenings, new works, and conversations across the country.
Portraits of US
As part of the Kennedy Center’s 2026 Promise of US programming, the public is invited to submit an artistic self-portrait to be part of a virtual wall of faces expressing the myriad diversity of America’s peoples and the promise of America’s future. This ever-expanding mosaic will be featured on the Center’s website and social channels.

²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÃâ·Ñ°æapp connects millions of Americans to the arts in D.C. and communities across the country, and as the living memorial to President John F. Kennedy we bring to life the President's belief in the human spirit.
Because our federal appropriations can only be used for the maintenance and operation of the building and ticket sales and other earned income account for only about half of our programmatic expenses, we rely on the generosity of a nationwide community of donors to fulfill our mission as America’s national cultural center.
Your gift today will support our year-round artistic, educational, and social impact programming. Or learn more about ways to get involved with the Kennedy Center, including Membership, corporate giving, and volunteering.
