Awards ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 were made to a total of 123 artists who would make their activities more widely available through public services such as readings, lectures, workshops, residencies, performances, exhibitions, and donations of work to public institutions. Half of the services involved were for the benefit of upstate communities. Among the activities and projects generated by the grants are the donation of six pieces of sculpture for use in such public places as a highway rest area, a public plaza in Binghamton, and a mental health facility; the production of eight new music compositions, a jazz opera, and a musical theatre production; and the creation of films on the New York State abortion law, the Hudson River, and the black life style. - Arthur J.
