The Avangard Gallery was established in December 2015 by young art historian Marian Grau and artist Jan Leo Grau. The goal of the gallery is to create a platform for exhibiting local contemporary art and unofficial art of the Soviet era.  Since 2018 Avangard Gallery is working in a pop-up mode, organising exhibitions and art events in various locations in Estonia and abroad. The gallery organizes Pärnu's largest annual art festivals FOTOFEST and Pärnu ART SUMMER. 

On summer months you can visit our AVANGARD SUMMER GALLERY in Villa Oliver (Supeluse 1, Pärnu). We are open from Wednesday to Sunday 11-19. On other times by appointment. During winter season visit our showroom in Pärnu Artists House (Nikolai 27 / By appointment) and keep an eye on FOTOFEST 2025 program!!
