The Avant Garden

The Avant Garden We create a platform for & network of, up-and-coming creatives connecting creative practitioners, entrepreneurs & interested public to maximise strengths.

The Avant Garden is a movement aimed at inspiring and enabling the growth of talented young creatives looking to break into their industries, and budding professionals needing nurture. The vision of us Gardeners is to ‘graft’ together these ‘seedlings’ with more established members of their industry, and an interested and engaged public, thereby gaining exposure, extending their ‘roots’ and provid

ing the means for them to not only grow, but blossom. We provide unique and exciting opportunities for exposure and collaboration through networking, two things which we believe to be fundamental to success in creative circles, and rarely offered to up-and-comers. We’re bridging an important gap, and having fun while doing it! As young, cash-strapped creatives ourselves we know the difficulties of penetrating the industry and succeeding financially in it. Consequently, rather than concentrating on cash flow; we have re-directed attention back to where it should be: on marketing people and passions – these are our product! Have a look for yourselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg_bQ5MgDMY


The Avant Garden is founded on five key principles:
Passion: it is what got us started, keeps us going, and what we hope to ignite in you. Collaboration: we bring together creative practitioners, entrepreneurs and interested publics to maximise each other’s strength and potential. Unconventionality: we’re different, we like it. We don’t sell services, promises or things: people are our product. Consequently, we trade in talent. This is our ‘creative currency’.

If nothing else positive came out of the S.O.N.A it was that the CLOTHING and manufacturing industry is on the up...

"Our government through the Department of Trade and Industry introduced a number of incentives in the past few years to boost investments in the manufacturing sectors especially textiles, leather and the automotive sectors."

The clothing and textile sector has also been successfully stabilised after a difficult few years."

BE PART OF POSITIVE CHANGE!

The clothing & textile manufacturing industry is a lucrative, easy and resourceful one for SA to tap into to bring money into the country & keep it here...

Buying from local designers & retailers (anything made locally, really) will reduce cheap, poor quality Chinese imports and effectively grow the demand for high quality, locally sourced and manufactured products = jjob creation, export value, fair trade
