Charlotte residents have an opportunity this month to work with six Charlotte-Mecklenburg artists commissioned to create replacement banners for the iconic uptown public artwork “Wind Sculpture.”
Six Charlotte-Mecklenburg creative individuals will each receive $50,000 “mini-genius” awards as the inaugural recipients of ASC Founders Grants. The grants represent the largest awards to individuals from ASC in the organization’s 65-year history.
Héctor Vaca Cruz is using his 2023 ASC Emerging Creators Fellowship to establish himself as a documentary photographer and filmmaker.
Olympic High School Spanish teacher Milagros Ugueto was named a 2023 ASC Cato Excellence in Teaching Award recipient.
Jay M. Robinson Middle School theater teacher Stacey Boone was named a 2023 ASC Cato Excellence in Teaching Award recipient.
ASC continues to heavily invest in Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s creative community this spring with the announcement of its latest Cultural Vision Grant and SEED Grant awards.
Funding from ASC has benefitted the Charlotte Asian and Dragon Boat Festivals for most of its existence. In recent years, that support has been through Cultural Vision Grants.
ASC’s Cultural Leadership Training program provides Charlotte-Mecklenburg leaders with the skills they need to be effective board members for creative nonprofits.
