The Avant Garde was started in 1998 by a group of
art loving young professionals. Their vision was to introduce the Tampa Museum of Art to others within
their demographic.

The Avant Garde Steering Committee consists of individuals with various backgrounds and interests
who dedicate time and hard work to coordinate events throughout the year. They plan social parties, art
auctions, educational programs, and meet & greets
with the artists at the museum and throughout the
Tampa Bay area. The goal is to share amazingly
affordable art and promote emerging local artists
with others in the community.
