Contemporary Art Television Fund

The Contemporary Art Television (CAT) Fund was an initiative seed-funded for three years by the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities, 1983-1986. The fund was a collaboration between the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, and WGBH TV, and Boston’s Public Television Station.

Kathy Rae Huffman was appointed curator/producer with a mandate to create a context for artists to define television as a medium for personal expression. The Fund was to increase visibility of artists work in television, to create larger distribution markets for artists television/video, and to experiment with methods for funding and self-sustaining strategies for media arts production.
