The 2016 ACKER Awards, Presented by Clayton PattersonThursday, March 17th, 7pm-9pm / FREE

The ACKER Awards were created by Alan Kaufman in San Francisco and Clayton Patterson in New York. Join Patterson and friends as they pay tribute to members of the avant-garde arts community who have made outstanding contributions in their discipline in defiance of convention, and to those who have served their fellow writers and artists in outstanding ways. The Acker Awards are named after novelist Kathy Acker, who in her life and work exemplified the risk-taking and uncompromising dedication that identifies the true avant-garde artist.
The event will be emceed by Phoebe Legere, who was an Acker winner last year, and co-sponsored by The Villager and Overthrow boxing.
