Kennedy Center Arts Workers United
@kcunions.bsky.social
We are the union arts professionals who earn a living working at the Kennedy Center, including for the National Symphony Orchestra and Washington National Opera. We depend on audience support for our livelihoods.
Every ticket purchased for a National Symphony Orchestra performance at the Kennedy Center helps sustain good union jobs, ensuring fair wages, health benefits, and retirement security for union arts workers.

Denise Wilkinson is a NSO violinist and a proud member of @afm-union.bsky.social. After more than 40 years with the orchestra, she says still nothing compares to performing for audiences at the Kennedy Center, the NSO's home.

Kennedy Center ticket sales directly fund performances and support the union actors, dancers, singers, musicians, and behind-the-scenes professionals who make them possible.

Your attendance at the Kennedy Center supports over 1,500 union musicians, artists, and crew members, making their vital work in the arts possible year after year. When you attend a Kennedy Center show, you’re not just enjoying world-class art—you’re also championing good union jobs!

The Kennedy Center can only rely on ticket sales, donations, and grants to fund its performances and support the union arts workers on stage, in the orchestra pit, and behind the scenes who make these shows happen. Congressional funding is specifically designated for building upkeep.
