The Committee represents a consultative body for President Joe Biden on matters of a cultural nature. After a five-year hiatus, it was reconstituted following the dissolution of the board during the Trump administration as a form of protest. Indeed, Joe Biden signed an executive order in September to rehabilitate the institution, which was created in 1982 under former President Ronald Reagan as part of the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
