Avante Garde (AG) is a Colorado non-profit organization established in 2021. Our operation in the Denver Metro area aims to help Colorado's emerging artists achieve financial stability and creative fulfillment to overcome the pressing challenges of economic insecurity and mental health pressures.
Avante Garde is dedicated to supporting Denver Metro's underrepresented and under-resourced performance and traditional, multimedia, and multidimensional artists grappling with mental health and financial literacy challenges at any stage in their artistic journey. Our focus encompasses individuals from diverse artistic disciplines who seek financial security and emotional stability. A common goal unites these artists: establishing a sustainable creative career without compromising their well-being or artistic integrity.
Avante Garde created the offerings provided by this organization in direct response to the need to deepen the connection in the Art community and uplift the Art and culture within the Colorado community.
