Gotta love where you work

Location, location, location!

The cow chairs, Karen, and lotsa pipes & wheels

AvantGarb is in the coolest building in the United States, and Turner Woodard is a pretty cool landlord, as well.

Our building, The Stutz Business Center is an old, car factory. Stutz Bearcats used to be made here---if you look in the upper left corner, you can see fragments of the old factory workings --lotsa pipes and wheels.

It's good for the soul, and really good for business to like the place you work in.....and I like the where I work. The location, and, of course, the work!!!!

The building was designed to be a place where real, tangible objects are made. It was also designed to be a place that holds ideas and innovation. 

Mascots, Mascots, Mascots!!!!

Shoot the Breeze - March Madness

Hey mascot performers and athletic marketing people! Come by and visit AvantGarb when you're in town for the Big Ten and the Final Four. Come see where mascots are made!

Does your mascot needs a quick repair? Are you are thinking about getting a new mascot? Do you want something changed in your current mascot? 

..or just come to shoot the breeze and tell tales of mascot adventures and mishaps!

AvantGarb's studio is just a few blocks away from all of the action. We'll keep the fridge stocked w/ beer & diet coke. The coffee is always fresh and there will be something delicious to nibble.


We're in the Stutz Building. We make mascots where the Stutz Car Company used to make cars. We have industrial sewing machines where there used to be drill presses.We have rolls of fuzz & fluff and feather boas. I'm not sure there were any feather boas around in the 30s, when Henry Stutz was building cars. 

Our mascot, Fluffy, will greet you. She's big, she's pink and she has an enormous tutu!

The Stutz Building is huge. It takes up a whole city block. Its on Capital between 10th & 11th Sts. We face Capitol in Building B. 

Here's the address:

We're always rooting for the mascots!

Stutz Bearcats & Mascots

This is AvantGarb's new studio before all the fuzz, fluff, foam & mascots move in!!

We will be making mascots where Stutz used to build cars. We're moving the the old Stutz Bearcat building in September. The new studio is big, light and downtown.

We will be surrounded by a huge creative community, artists, ad agencies, urban planners, photographers.

This is familiar territory for me. Way back in the 80's, I had a studio @ PS 1 in Long Island City. I was at PS 1 when artists were awarded studios for a year. I had an old classroom as my studio. It was a grand year. Now PS1 is part of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA),

The Stutz fills a role similar to the old PS1. However, the creative community is larger and more diverse. There are artists, and creative businesses---a great mix from scruffy to elegant.

... and the building is huge---the freight elevators are enormous they will hold
herds, flocks, multitudes of mascots!!
