\n New images obtained by CNN show the Kennedy Center signage with President Donald Trump\u2019s name removed, confirming a sworn court declaration from the arts center\u2019s executive director Matt Floca that the president\u2019s name is no longer affixed to the building.\n <\/p>

\n The images, first reported by the Washington Post, were provided to CNN by the activist organization, \u201cHands Off the Arts,\u201d and mark the first visual confirmation of the removal as a large tarp remains affixed to the building ten days later.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHands Off the Arts was able to acquire these photos through our network of community members,\u201d said the group\u2019s co-founder, Mallory Miller, who previously served as manager of dance programming for the venue.\n <\/p>\n

\n Miller added: \u201cTonight, there is a tarp that is covering the bare marble that these photos reveal to the world. The president does not want you to see them and that\u2019s exactly why they\u2019re important!\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Workers began removing Trump\u2019s name from an exterior wall of the Kennedy Center overnight on June 13, complying with a judge\u2019s ruling that the institution could only be named for John F. Kennedy as a living memorial to the late president.\n <\/p>

\n While Trump\u2019s name has been removed from the outside of the venue \u2013 inside, a difficult financial picture is forcing tough choices.\n <\/p>\n

\n A federal judge is demanding the center continue to operate during renovations. But plummeting ticket sales, artist withdrawals, political controversies and a diminished staff have made restarting a full-scale programming schedule a challenge, multiple sources familiar with the operation told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n The historic arts center on Friday asked the judge for more time to comply with deadlines in an ongoing lawsuit as its board explores avenues for renovation.\n <\/p>
