Why Advocate?
Culture For All. Since the 1970s, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg/ASC Public-Private Partnership for cultural affairs has enabled ASC to distribute funding throughout the region. This is a nationally recognized model that combines resources from the public sector with those of the private sector to maximize community impact.
When ASC receives public sector support, all of Charlotte-Mecklenburg benefits through greater community enrichment. Many of our community’s cultural institutions rely on operating support from ASC to stay open. Businesses and tourists alike are attracted to well-rounded cities with plenty to see and do. Students learn how to be creatively literate. Quality of life abounds.
Ultimately, public sector support maintains the health of cultural programs and people across the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region.
