The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is among the organizations that receives funding from ASC.
The city of Charlotte is considering shutting off its annual $3.2 million allocations to the Arts & Science Council.
Instead, the city would distribute the money in another way, possibly on its own.
Under the proposal, the city would increase its allocation to the arts from $3.2 million to $4 million. The money would be targeted to art institutions that operate in city-owned buildings like the Mint Museum, the Blumenthal Performing Arts and the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts+ Culture.
At-large council member Julie Eiselt, who chairs an ad hoc committee on the arts, said she wants to make sure those city buildings are being most effectively used.
