The New Vanguard

Based in Chicago, IL, The New Vanguard was founded from a simple notion of retaining & supporting creative talent within the city through our pillars of representation, media, and philanthropy. We believe, Creatives of Color are responsible for the popular cultural narrative we all engage with and benefit from. As their work gains visibility, it’s imperative they aren’t viewed as a commodity, but rather centered and supported. We have a roster of 10+ diverse artists that we support through branding, partnership management, and more. Additionally, The New Vanguard Media, is a design studio that provides creative and production resources for brands looking to create culturally evocative work. The New Vanguard Media provides our talent with production capabilities of an creative agency. With any partnership we work to ensure their art is a central narrative that’s true to them, and authentic for any collaboration. Now, partnerships move beyond a co-sign, into a space of co-creation. Artists can scale their platforms, and partners can co-create with artists to build authentic and inclusive narratives.
