From ASC: In 2015, ASC began its journey towards cultural equity. Why? Because ASC\u2019s staff and board realized that \u2014 to truly achieve the organization\u2019s vision of \u201cCulture for All\u201d\u2014 all Charlotte-Mecklenburg residents must have equitable opportunity to participate in the cultural life of our region as audiences, volunteers, artists, administrators, board members and donors. ASC believes that everyone has cultural traditions that are inherently valuable, and that artists, scientists and historians play a unique role in challenging inequities and inspiring human understanding, justice and opportunity for all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nSince beginning its cultural equity journey, ASC has:
\n\u2022 Expanded Operating Support Grants to new grassroots and multicultural organizations
\n\u2022 Restructured project-based funding as Cultural Vision Grants to align with community priorities and diversify the funding pool
\n\u2022 Started Catalyst for Cultural Equity, a program that prepares arts and culture nonprofit professionals to help advance cultural equity in their organizations
\n\u2022 Launched Culture Blocks, a Mecklenburg County-funded program to provide arts and cultural experiences closer to where people live
\n\u2022 Started two artist fellowship programs that demonstrate ASC\u2019s belief investing in Charlotte-Mecklenburg\u2019s creative individuals benefits the region\u2019s overall cultural climate
\n\u2022 Increased support for Regional Artist Project Grants, now called Artist Support Grants
\n\u2022 Aligned ASC supported education programs with key opportunity measures (PreK readiness, 3rd grade reading, middle school transition, high school
\ngraduation) as defined by community priorities
\n\u2022 Expanded opportunities for local\/regional artists to receive Public Art commissions
\n\u2022 Focused workshops & training opportunities around issues of diversity, equity and inclusion
\n\u2022 Approved a Cultural Equity Statement that guides ASC\u2019s work and provides a framework to set organizational policies and practices<\/p>\n
