 Huffman was appointed curator/producer of The Contemporary Art Television Fund / The CAT Fund, a pilot project of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston and WGBH TV's New Television Workshop, Boston's public television station, with a mandate to create a context for artists to define television as a medium for their personal expression.Funded initially by the Massachusetts Art Council, The CAT Fund was designed to play an active role in the development of artists' TV internationally.Compared to Southern California, the east coast seemed to Huffman more theoritical and political.
