In 1976-77, 34 groups received $900,732. The largest category of support, which accounted for about 42 percent of the TV/Media budget, was continuing operating expenses for the network of media resource centers, located throughout the state. These centers offer workshops, exhibition facilities, and production and distribution services to both individual artists and organizations in- volved in media arts. Among those receiving funds were Portable Channel in Rochester, the Ithaca Video Project, Media Bus in Lanesville, and the Downtown Community TV center in New York City. Facilities for professional video artists and other artists interested in video received an additional 37 percent of the program\u0027s funds. Among them were the Artists Workshops at WXXI-TV in Rochester, the TV Lab at WNET/Channel 13 in New York City, and the ZBS Foundation in Fort Edward. A number of organizations received funds for exhibiting video work; this year the program supported exhibitions at the Kitchen and Anthology Film Archives in New York City, as well as presentations organized by Media Study in Buffalo to be shown in various cities in western New York. The TV/Media program also ventured into two new areas of funding. This year, for the first time, production funds were given to a small number of artists to enable them to carry out specific projects in association with certain video facilities. This sup- port was directed toward both new works and new equipment; the works themselves, it is hoped, will be broadcast to wide audiences, while the equipment can be used by other artists as well as those who initiated the projects. Finally, the Cabin Creek Center in New York City received modest but important support for its exploration of the creative potential of holography.
