The Kennedy Center Next 50

As we prepare to celebrate another incredible #KCHonors class this weekend, we reflect on the many others doing incredible work below the radar.

When we look at our outstanding cultural and artistic leaders of the last 50 years, who are the direct torchbearers of their legacies? We believe artists have a place in the leadership of this country and beyond—not just from our stages—and the #KenCenNext50 will celebrate the wide spectrum of cultural leadership today. For every great leader we all know, there so many others doing excellent work below the radar. The Kennedy Center Next 50 will celebrate the wide spectrum of cultural leadership today. Who do YOU know that’s moving us toward a more inspired, inclusive, and compassionate world?
