Launched in June of 2011, the Avant-Garde Art & Craft Shows are a series of art and craft events that are held throughout the mid-west year-round. Each event showcases local handmade artisans and crafters, drawing attention to the amazing eclectic talent located in the area! A portion of all proceeds from each Avant-Garde branded event is donated to a local charity within the community of where the shows are held. The Avant-Garde Art & Craft Shows are also recognized by the Better Business Bureau as an accredited organization.
