Episode description
The Kennedy Center is one of the nation’s premier performing arts centers, holding around 2,000 events each year. It’s a public-private partnership with most funding raised privately, but some coming from the federal government. The center has traditionally been a bipartisan institution but it’s now at a crossroads. Jeffrey Brown reports for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
