See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Building the Future
For the first time in its history, the Kennedy Center has embarked on a major expansion of the building's original footprint, scheduled for completion in 2018. We envision the expanded campus as the ultimate creative space -- an open and responsive place where artists and audiences will participate together in the creative process, exploring and connecting through performances, informal gatherings, and creative learning moments. The expansion's highly flexible design will enable the rehearsal spaces to be turned "inside out," providing patrons a unique window into the artistic experience.
Renowned American architect Steven Holl has created an innovative design that features three new distinct pavilions -- an entry pavilion to welcome guests, an event pavilion overlooking beautiful gardens, and a river pavilion adjacent to Rock Creek Parkway and the Potomac River. Seamlessly integrated into the existing campus, the expansion features:
* A flexible, 2,500-square foot performance space to allow for more informal performance experiences.
* Three new open rehearsal/multi-purpose spaces encouraging dynamic participation, experimentation, and immersive access to unfinished works of art still in process.
* Dedicated education spaces, like media-ready classrooms, lecture halls, outdoor classrooms and a learning lab to serve more of the community with cultural and hands on art-making experiences.
* 7,500 square feet of pre-function and event space including a convertible cafe/bistro with stunning views of the Potomac and the freedom to host more intimate and relaxed performances.
* Beautiful outdoor gardens, a Ginkgo grove, reflecting pools, interactive art and sculpture installations, celebration spaces and a large outdoor video wall, with terrace seating for more than 1,600.
* A strong connection to the riverfront and surrounding neighborhoods through a scenic walkway connecting the Center with the river and nearby memorials creating an environment where visitors can experience works of art.
* Multiple ADA-compliant connections to the main Kennedy Center building, front Plaza, and parking garage which will provide unparalleled access to the ground making them more accessible to everyone.
Scheduled to open in 2018, the new spaces are designed to be flexible and create a new experience for members of the extended Kennedy Center community to interact and fully engage with the Center as a nexus of arts, learning, and culture.
The Kennedy Center's Expansion Project is being built exclusively with private contributions and would not be possible without the visionary leadership of Chairman David M. Rubenstein, who has generously contributed $50 million in support of this historic undertaking.

- KCFUT_170528_18.JPG: The Kennedy Center Expansion Project
The Kennedy Center expansion project will be a place where the community can engage and interact with artists and their creative output in inspired and meaningful ways, across the full spectrum of the creative process. Much-needed rehearsal, education, and a variety of flexible indoor and outdoor spaces will allow the Center to continue to play a national and global leadership role in providing artistic, cultural, and enrichment opportunities for all.
The model was designed by Steven Holl Architects.

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
