  • Creative Artists Public Service Program Chronology

    Creative Artists Public Service Program (CAPS) rejected a New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) offer to reassign and share administration of selected fellowships with the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA). In 1983–84 CAPS awarded fellowships where funding had been committed: choreography, fiction, film, multi-media, screenwriting/playwriting and video; for 1984–85 NYSCA increased overall fellowship support to $1.1 million and proposed NYFA administer architecture, crafts, film, video, fiction, poetry, choreography, music composition and playwriting while CAPS would administer photography, painting, graphics, sculpture and multi‑media. Under Isabelle Fernandez CAPS resisted NYSCA urgings to increase outside fundraising, add a crafts fellowship and contain administrative costs.
