Charlotte arts group APOLOGIZES for funding city’s symphony, opera and children’s theater since 1958 – calling them ‘white, Western Eurocentric organizations’

An arts advocacy group in Charlotte, North Carolina, is facing backlash after it apologized for funding ‘white, Western Eurocentric organizations’ including the city’s symphony, ballet and children’s theater.

The Arts & Science Council, which has been a main source of funding for arts and cultural groups in the Charlotte area since 1958, issued the extraordinary apology in a February report examining its funding practices.

The group receives more than $3 million a year directly from the city, along with getting funding from philanthropies. It gave out $4.3 million in grants to 37 arts and culture organizations last year, according to the Charlotte Business Journal. The nonprofit group has an endowment of nearly $40 million.

  1. Well, say goodbye to classical music. Do you think the lefty wokies who work for WSCL will sit around and let it broadcast white supremacist classical music? I’ll bet Salisbury University will shut it down.
