Anniversary Celebration and Benefit

December 21 / 5-9 PM

Howl! Happening is pleased to host a benefit commemorating the 35th anniversary of Allied Productions (Allied) and the 20th anniversary of Le Petit Versailles (LPV) Community Garden. The celebration includes a silent art auction of work by more than 75 artists, and live performances by Penny Arcade, Pamela Sneed, John Michael Swartz and Gio Black Peter. For Benefit Tickets

To mark these banner years, the benefit honors stalwarts of New York City that represent the incredible artists and resources that sustain and inspire us:
Sarah Schulman, author, playwright, professor and activist
Harriet Taub, Executive Director of Materials for the Arts 

The benefit helps raise funds to better develop Allied’s mission of public programming, artist resources, and services including fiscal sponsorship, as well as ongoing archival efforts to reflect the decades of work cultivated here and abroad. Since 2001, LPV has presented hundred of poets, artists, filmmakers, musicians and more—benefiting our community as we move forward with improvements to sustain the garden.

Allied is a tax-exempt nonprofit arts umbrella founded in 1981 as an entirely artist-run multipurpose entity that fosters collective community building by presenting, producing, and sponsoring all areas of the arts, including the activities of individuals, groups, and organizations. Allied created LPV in 1995 and transformed an abandoned lot into an extraordinary community garden and multipurpose space that serves as our primary venue for art and activism, supporting communities at risk, including LGBTQ communities and youth of color.
