White House fires arts commission expected to review Trump construction projects
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump fired the entire six-member Commission of Fine Arts, with an adviser in the Presidential Personnel Office saying terminations were effective immediately via email.
- The independent Commission of Fine Arts advises on design and aesthetics and was expected to review Trump-backed plans for a triumphal arch and a $300 million ballroom in Washington, D.C.
- The 115-year-old commission had six members appointed by President Joe Biden, with several holding terms beyond 2028 and former head Billie Tsien resigning earlier this year.
- The White House says the ballroom will be built before Trump's term ends and funded by Trump, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and Harold G. Hamm, while costs exceed $350,000,000.
- Architectural experts note President Donald Trump may sidestep the commission’s review by citing a 1947 precedent, while models shown October 15, 2025 depict the Independence Arch, which Trump said was for 'Me'.
