The Acker Awards is a tribute given to members of the avant garde arts community who have made outstanding contributions in their discipline in defiance of convention, or else served their fellow writers and artists in outstanding ways. The award is 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. Acker Awards are granted to both living and deceased members of the New York and San Francisco communities.


The cities were chosen for their historic linkage as centers for the avant garde. The providers of the Acker Awards are Alan Kaufman (San Francisco) and Clayton Patterson (New York City). The recipients were determined through extensive discussion with members of the arts communities in both cities.
