The Avant-Garde is a forward-thinking group of Park Avenue Armory for individuals from their 20s to 40s that offers a deeper, more intimate connection to the unique and creative concepts behind the Armory’s mission: to support unconventional works in the performing and visual arts that cannot be fully realized in a traditional proscenium theater, concert hall, or white wall gallery.
For more information, please contact Katie Burke, Individual Giving Coordinator, at (212) 616-3958 or kburke@armoryonpark.org.

Avant-Garde Scholar members help to support the Armory’s Arts Education Programs, reaching thousands of public students each year. These programs, which are offered at no cost to students, immerse them in the creative process of exceptional visual and performing artists and teach them to explore their own creative instincts. Our arts education staff, teaching artists, and Youth Corps students are more engaged than ever in providing—now remotely—high-quality, multi-layered artistic programs that include videos, Zoom conferences, and teaching materials.
The Avant-Garde Committee members serve as the dynamic young leadership for the Avant-Garde and play an integral role in the vision and planning of future Avant-Garde programs. Committee members must have an active membership for at least one year before becoming eligible to join and are strongly encouraged to meet these annual responsibilities:
