The White House has fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent federal agency charged with advising the president, Congress and the city of Washington, DC, on “matters of design and aesthetics,” according to a source familiar with the matter.
The firings come as President Donald Trump has sought to impose his style on the nation’s capital through a slate of construction projects, including a planned triumphal arch, new White House ballroom, and paving over the Rose Garden.
The firings came via email from an adviser in the Presidential Personnel Office.
“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the Commission on Fine Arts is terminated, effective immediately,” reads the email, which was reviewed by CNN.
The six members were appointed by former President Joe Biden

Thank God. They are all graduates of the GDR School of Brutalist Art.

Trump knows more about construction than they do, having spent all his working life of over 50 years carrying out huge construction projects.
The moment these jokers started making whiny, ineffective noises against the Big Beautiful Ballroom, they were effectively out the door.

Ugliest presidential library in history.

One benefit of almost constantly asking rich people for money is that you get to see how a lot of rich people live.
To: Governor Dinwiddie
Exactly. The left loves Brutalist architecture as it is often the closest thing to what was built in communist countries in the past.
