WELCOME TO AVANT-GARDE BAR

Dear Artists,

Welcome to Avant-Garde Bar, a revolutionary culture hub and community space where creative minds come together to share their passions and artistic endeavors. Founded in December 2004 in response to the desires of Ottawa residents for an inspiring meeting place, Avant-Garde Bar has evolved into an art bar and gathering spot for local poets, artists, designers, and political activists.

As a supporter of both local and international artists, we embrace experimentation and the pushing of musical boundaries. We strive to provide an environment where you can freely express your creativity and connect with an audience that shares your interests.

Cover Fees and Donations:
At Avant-Garde Bar, we believe in empowering artists and giving them control over their earnings. Performers receive all cover fees collected from the audience. If you anticipate drawing about three dozen fans or more, you have the flexibility to assign any cover fee you wish. Alternatively, you can set up a donation jar with a sign suggesting a cover fee of $10-15 or whatever guests can afford. All donations go directly to the performers.

Event Details:
Please note that all evening shows are for audiences aged 19 and above, and we do not permit the use of fog machines.

Event Promotion:
To finalize your booking, we kindly request some information about your show and/or a public Facebook event to share. This allows us to promote your upcoming performance on our FB event page and share it with the local media, maximizing your reach and impact.

Thank you for choosing Avant-Garde Bar as a platform to showcase your talent. We look forward to hosting your extraordinary performances and being a part of your artistic journey.
