The Creative Artists Public Service Program was funded by the New York State Council on the Arts to support individual artists' work in a variety of disciplines.

1974-1975

New York State Council on the Arts Arts Resources Program: Arts Service Organizations

The Creative Artists Public Service Program (CAPS) serves  both artists and the public by assisting individual artists in the  creation of new works, and by bringing them and their work to the attention of a broader audience.

Fellowships are given in the fields of painting, graphics, sculpture, photography, music composition, choreography, poetry, fiction writing, playwriting, film, video, and multimedia. Fellowship recipients perform community-oriented services such as lecture-demonstrations, workshops, open rehearsals, and readings, and also make donations of their finished artworks.

CAPS continues its services to artists beyond the term of the fellowships through a number of Community Service and Exposure Programs-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 available to museums, local arts councils, architects, city planners, businesses, and others interested in the purchase and exhibition of contemporary art.

In 1974-75 179 artists received grants ranging from $3,500 to $10,000; the average grant was $4,000. CAPS received a total of 5,206 applications. A list of fellowship recipients follows:
