Each year, Avant-art hosts Hunter Underground, the young patron group’s premier annual museum fundraiser. Hunter Underground provides guests the chance to explore the Hunter Museum’s basement, which is converted from a maze of art storage to a night club with music, entertainment, and art. Featuring a silent auction tailored to veteran and young collectors alike as well as the popular Smash & Grab Gallery, Hunter Underground not only raises much-needed revenue for the Hunter but also exposes those in attendance to the joy of collecting a piece of art. This annual event is a fun and unique experience that gives guests the opportunity to see a new side of the Hunter and to add great local and regional art to their personal collections.
