White House aide Chamberlain Harris, despite no art or architecture background, appointed to D.C. design panel overseeing a $400M ballroom and 250-foot arch.
Chamberlain Harris, a 26-year-old White House aide with no formal background in art or architecture, has been appointed to the Commission of Fine Arts, a panel that reviews major design projects in Washington, D.C.
Her appointment, part of President Trump’s effort to replace previous members with loyalists, comes as the administration pushes forward with plans for a $400 million White House ballroom and a 250-foot arch.
Critics question the qualifications of recent appointees, citing a lack of relevant expertise and concerns over politicizing federal design oversight.
The commission is set to review the ballroom’s latest designs, with approval targeted for March and construction possibly beginning in April.
