“My support of ASC comes from a deep, abiding belief that arts and culture are an important part of what makes this community great. I can’t imagine our community without the creativity, vibrancy and innovation that arts, science, history and heritage bring to our lives every day. And I think it’s terrific that Charlotte is a city where our corporate community fully supports those experiences for generations to come.”

Levine Center for the Arts is one of Charlotte’s key cultural destinations, comprised of Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, John S. and James L. Knight Theater and Mint Museum Uptown. All of these spaces have rental spaces for use.
Having an arts and cultural community that is as diverse as ours
also means that it is easy to get lost in your options. When you

based knowledge about the arts and cultural sector. We can help
you navigate through your options and choose those that best
fit your needs. Do you need a recommendation on space to hold
your next Board meeting? Looking to sponsor a program in the
cultural community but need advice on which organizations fit the
criteria you are looking for? Let ASC serve as your partner and
help find the right programs and opportunities that make the most

ASC has established a Cultural Education Fund as part of its annual
fundraising effort that is specifically dedicated to ensuring that
valuable, curriculum-based education programs are around for
generations to come.

Schools that aligns education program offerings with the N.C.

Giving to ASC is not a one size fits all approach. As a corporate leader with options on where to invest your dollars, your gift should align with the strategic priorities of your company. You can make an impact in the specific area or program that makes the most sense for your company by sponsoring a specific project, capacity-building program or set of grants. The opportunities are diverse, and we are more than happy to tailor a sponsorship to fit your needs.
