Circle/ Squared, Video Portraits by Beth Berolzheimer, Randolph Street Gallery Chicago December 13-17, 1982 A five channel video installation of four image processed portraits surrounding a central super 8 image shot at a nudist colony. "Her work has the Chicago "look", relying heavily on multilayered sound tracks and electronically altered visuals. Like most video art , her tapes embrace the technology of the taped image, turning what a still photographer might consider the visual "limitations' of the picture tube into aesthetic advantages." Chap Freeman, The Chicago Reader, 12/10/1982

Creative Artists Public Service Program, Isabelle Fernandez, Director, decides to go to alternate year funding for the fellowship categories, in response to NYSCA requests that the program become more cost effective. CAPS indicates that more awards will be made, with the savings from the administrative cost cuts, but that the funding level of the fellowships would remain the same. In 1981 32% of the CAPS budget was disbursed for administration. The State Council members ordered a ceiling of such expenses of 20%, in response. NYSCA also requested that CAPS secure outside funding for the overall program. CAPS was unable to find a mandated matching funds source. Isabelle Fernandez, Director of CAPS, indicated that CAPS had originally been told by NYSCA not to engaged in outside fundraising, because it would mean direct competition for funding with other media organizations; she also indicated that NYSCA had changed this position, culminating in the matching funds requirement.

Media Arts Program at the National Endowment for the Arts initiates the regional fellowship project. The video and film fellowships were launched by the NEA and the American Film Institute. The program distributes grants through five regional media arts centers which represent 35 states. The administrative centers would rotate after three years. By 1983 every state except New York was represented. NYS artists were excluded from the program, but the NEA indicated that it would not reduce the amount of support NY artists received from other Media programs. It would increase the number of grants given outside NYS by lowering the stipends. In 1981 approximately 61% of the total funding for NEA/Media Productions went to NYS artists; the average amount was $18,000. Under the new program there was a ceiling of $150,ooo per year for the regional program and grant awards couldn't exceed $15,000. Virgil Grillo, Director of new program.
