Although the grant helps to insure the continuation of all six shows, the majority of the money is being allocated to buy software for the production of "Yard Tales," and for new multi-media Web ventures. HRTV plans to launch a Web site that would include short clips from student-created videos. Gildengers explains that often students miss other student work precisely because exhibits are short and hard to find. He hopes that making them accessible on-line would help give the student artists exposure. In addition to student clips, HRTV would like to include clips from the Ig Nobel...
