At an upcoming fundraiser, the New York Civil Liberties Union Young Professionals are raffling a unique literary experience: a one-on-one coffee with Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Junot Díaz.
The Just Art fundraiser is scheduled for September 29, 2009 at 7 pm
at BAM Cafe in Brooklyn. Tickets cost $50. The NYCLU is quite active on the literary front. They’ve sponsored Banned Book Read-a-Thons all around New York State, including readings in Syracuse, Mount Vernon, Utica, and Albany.
Here’s more from the release: “This year’s event will feature a progressive art show and auction plus do-it-yourself art stations where attendees can unleash their own creative instincts. Entertainment includes a live music/video remix by acclaimed AV-DJs Eclectic Method as well as live performances by artists Coco Dolle, Ann Liv Young, 0H10M1ke and DJs Comandante Zero.”
