President Donald Trump is moving to reconstitute the federal Commission of Fine Arts ahead of its review of a planned White House ballroom, a project the administration has framed as a privately funded enhancement to the historic complex.

The step follows the removal of previous commissioners and comes as the administration prepares to submit detailed plans to federal advisory bodies as part of the formal approval process.

The ballroom proposal, envisioned as a large-scale addition designed to host major state and ceremonial events, is expected to be reviewed by the Commission of Fine Arts and other planning authorities in the coming weeks.

The administration has emphasized that the project reflects long-standing logistical needs at the White House and has underscored its intention to respect federal review requirements while advancing a design aligned with the president’s vision.

Officials familiar with the process say the reconstitution of the commission is intended to ensure continuity, efficiency, and a constructive review process as the project enters its next phase.

Supporters argue that updating the panel’s membership allows the administration to move forward decisively while maintaining oversight by established federal institutions.

With the commission expected to regain a quorum ahead of scheduled meetings, the ballroom proposal is set to receive its first substantive advisory assessment.

The outcome of that review will shape the project’s final design and timeline as the administration moves forward with what it has described as a landmark addition to the White House.
