The President’s Advisory Committee on the Arts was established in 1958 by President Dwight Eisenhower. According to the Kennedy Center, its members are considered a “national network” for the arts center. The Kennedy Center also has a board of trustees, chaired by David Rubenstein, and its members also are appointed by the president. Another arts board, the National Council on the Arts, advisers the National Endowment for the Arts. Another group, the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, was an advisory committee to the president’s administration, but President Donald Trump did not renew its authority in 2017 after all of its members resigned.
