About Avantgarde
Europe is full of creative talent, but the professional creative world is still scattered.
Artists, performers and musicians are often spread across Instagram, personal websites, emails and word of mouth. Organizations search through personal contacts, old lists, open calls and manual outreach.
Avantgarde brings this into one place.
A professional space where creative professionals can create a profile, find opportunities and connect – and where organizations can discover talent, publish calls and build shortlists.
Not an agency. Not a management programme. Not another social media platform.
Why creatives are joining
"I've always been enthusiastic about making connections, and one of the things that made me
say yes was expanding my professional contacts across Europe. As a Brazilian living in
Portugal, it's very important for me, as an artist, to inhabit these spaces, learning from other
creators and professionals and amplifying my work opportunities."
Carol Lancelloti

"I'm excited to join the Avantgarde platform, as I've been looking for a space like this. It's a
great opportunity to connect with others in the industry and explore ways to grow my career.
I'm truly happy to be part of this community."
Muriël Bostdorp
Pianist · Netherlands
"The main reason to join Avantgarde was the shared vision that local art needs to reach the
widest possible audience to showcase the rich cultural reserve Luxembourg has."
Gábor Farkas
Visual Artist · Luxembourg
"I find the idea of connecting and networking across different disciplines and countries
amazing. This platform is about connecting different bubbles and bringing dedicated artists
together, which is urgently needed nowadays. It is an efficient way to further support and
protect the arts."
Milena Marena
Cellist · Switzerland
"I chose to join Avantgarde because I believe it to be a promising and professionally curated
European network of top-tier multidisciplinary artists. It fits with my ambitions as a young
artist in opera and classical music and with my interests in interdisciplinarity."
Gerben van der Werf
Actor & Classical Music · Germany
"Tres pratique - tout est centralise, les outils, la communaute d'artiste, les evenements. Un
espace dedie aux differents acteurs de la sphere artistique Europeenne qui se structure - c'est
je pense la bonne direction. Bravo pour ton investissement."
