Fellowships are given in the fields of choreography, fiction writing, film, graphics, multimedia, music composition, painting, photography, and video. In 1973-74 CAPS also administered six fellowships in xerography, with funds provided by the Xerox Corporation. Fellowship recipients perform community-oriented services throughout the State such as lectures, demonstrations, workshops, open rehearsals, readings, performances, or donations of finished art works. Services performed by 1973-74 fellowship recipients included an outdoor concert dedicated to Duke Ellington, given at Bronx Community College by Valerie Capers and six other musicians; construction of two outdoor sculptures at Storm King Art Center, Mountainville, by Rosemarie Castoro; a series of weekly photography workshops for mental patients at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City, conducted by Dorothy Glouster; and a correspondence project between playwright Ken Brown and an inmate/writer at the Eastern Correctional Facility, Napanoch, in which Brown reads and evaluates the inmate\u0027s manuscripts and offers him counseling and advice. CAPS prolongs its service to artists beyond the term of the fellowships through a number of exposure projects-among them traveling film and video festivals, performances, circulating exhibitions, and portfolios. It also operates the Visual Arts Referral Service, a photo file of the works of winners and finalists which is made available to museums, local arts councils, architects, city planners, businesses, and others interested in the purchase and exhibition of contemporary art. From the nearly 10,000 applications received since the program began in 1970, CAPS has awarded a total of 505 fellowships ranging from $1,500 to $5,000, with an average of $3,000. In 1973-74, 3,766 applications were submitted; 166 artists received grants. The recipients are listed on page 135.
