In a city known for pushing boundaries — and in an era when the traditional white-box gallery risks feeling static — Avant Gallery is reshaping what an art gallery can be. Founded in 2007 by Dmitry Prut, Avant has become a cultural force in Miami, merging contemporary art, high design, and lifestyle into a seamless, elevated experience. In the Miami Design District, Avant Gallery and Avant Home sit side by side, presenting museum-caliber works in dialogue with luxury furnishings. In Miami Beach, Avant occupies the landmark 1111 Lincoln Road building, designed by Herzog & de Meuron. “Our goal is to weave art into daily life — in homes, in design, in hospitality, and in real estate,” says Prut.
