As part of CCTV's year-long 25th Anniversary celebration, and through the generosity of Forest City Enterprises and Cambridge Savings Bank, we have installed a billboard at 334 Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square. It was designed by Alex Gerasev, tag line by Carla Gubernick of World of Mouth Media.
This is not CCTV's first billboard. In 1993, in celebration of the 5th Anniversary, a billboard designed by Myrna Kustin was installed in Kendall Square. Also that year, CCTV welcomed into the studio Karen Finley, shown here keyed over the billboard. Finley is a performance artist, and one of the NEA Four.
CCTV is currently offering FREE Access Membership to Cambridge residents, through MAy 25. You can learn more about upcoming 25th Anniversary events here.

CCTV member Ann Cowan is displaying her photographs from Ecuador at CCTV’s Karen Aqua Gallery through May 24, 2013. The public is invited to a reception April 28th from 4:30-6:30PM.
Cowan says, “I went to Highland Ecuador last summer to get as close to the native people as possible. I found an amazing indigenous market in Otovalo, and a farming village nearby. Thousands of local farmers and artisans come to the Saturday market, the largest in the Americas, which fills the Plaza de Panchos, the central square, and spreads down all the surrounding side streets and across the river. The vendors set up before dawn and stay until late afternoon or evening. It’s a social event for most and an attraction for tourists, bringing a relatively high standard of living to these welcoming people.
“In these pictures I tried to capture a sense of the people and place without disturbing them, as the camera allowed a glimpse of life among some of the descendants of the once mighty Incas and their subjects in the Andes mountains of South America.”

The 2013 election for the Board of Directors will take place at the Annual Meeting on April 24, 2013 beginning at 6PM. Access Members may vote at that time.
2-Year Full Board Terms: 3 Seats Available
Angel Aiguier, current Board member, Radio and Media Producer
I want to continue to serve on the Board of Directors, because as a former board, and continued board member, I feel consistency is very important. I have a balanced point of view, from a member’s perspective, as well as the ability to see it from the overall Board view. Being Re-Elected will help the continued nurturing and stability that has been formulated and grounded for the past several years.
My experience as a board member has taught and educated me beyond words and expression, and having been molded and cultivated in such a way, assists me in continuing my position as a board member, to only further this endeavor, in helping me to know the needs and wants of the members of CCTV, as well as lend my experience, and knowledge, as a board member in continuing to make CCTV what it is, as we grow, into the future with this organization, that I have learned from.
My vision for CCTV is nothing short of Great Expectations...
