The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts’ Post

“I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty” – President John F. Kennedy Did you know that 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence? As we reflect on our nation’s progress and acknowledge the work yet to be done, our collective cultural journey gives us the opportunity to engage, evolve, and elevate the narrative of our nation’s story. Join us in celebrating The Promise of US, a yearlong commemoration of our Nation at 250. We will ask questions together, like “What does America sound like?” and invite artists, audiences, and communities alike to join in creating concerts, convenings, new works, and conversation across the country. Starting today, we invite you to share your unique creativity and identity by submitting a self-portrait for Portraits of US–a virtual wall of faces that showcases the amazing diversity and potential of our people. Find out how and be part of this historic moment. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4bJBJG9 #KenCenPromise250 #Promise250 #KC250 #KCPromise250 #KCPromiseofUS
