The WORTHLESSSTUDIOS 8-Ball Benefit Bonanza, in partnership with MATTE, will take place on Thursday, November 19 at Amsterdam Billiards!

This year we’re skipping the traditional gala and hosting a billiards tournament instead – winner takes home the grand prize, a newly commissioned ceramic vessel by artist Jake Clark.

Join us for an evening of music, food, cocktails, and friendly rivalry to celebrate our artists and community! All proceeds will support WORTHLESSSTUDIOS’ programs, exhibitions, and commitment to serving the needs of artists.

In a city where space is tight, tools are hard to find, and making a life as an artist is a challenge, bringing big ideas to life and art into communities takes a hands-on support network.

Collaborating with local artists and community partners, WORTHLESSSTUDIOS creates the space for artists to experiment and take risks. Because the messy, experimental process of artmaking is what keeps NYC’s creative culture alive.
