Hands Around the Kennedy Center - 9/18/2026
with Hands Off the Arts
18 Sep 2026 @ 6:30PMThis Friday, September 18, at 6:30 p.m., we return to the Kennedy Center with the Hands Off the Arts (HOTA) team. Join HOTA for Hands Around the Kennedy Center, a joyful protest featuring performances, guest speakers and a walk hand-in-hand around the grounds.
We're turning out to show the media and our elected officials the power of our movement—reaffirming our commitment to protecting the Kennedy Center, its workers and the performing arts.
This event will proceed as scheduled even though the Board voted to close the main building.
RSVP for an event reminder email with important details for the program. RSVP with HOTA for September 18.
For America the Beautiful, we will be singing verses 1-3.
