Richard Grenell resigns as Kennedy Center head amid controversy over political rebranding efforts, with Matt Floca set to succeed him.
Richard Grenell, appointed president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts by President Trump in 2025, is stepping down after a contentious tenure marked by efforts to rebrand the center, programming shifts, and high-profile cancellations.
Trump announced that Matt Floca, currently vice president of facilities operations, will succeed Grenell as CEO and executive director, pending board approval.
The center is set to close for a two-year renovation starting after the July 4, 2026, celebrations, with Trump claiming the project will cost $200 million.
The transition follows political changes at federal cultural institutions and ongoing debates over the center’s direction and leadership.
