Step inside Archway Studios and (re)discover Avant Card, an offbeat gift shop filled with curious finds, local art, and quirky treasures.
Open Saturdays through December 20
10 AM – 4 PM + by appointment
Avant Card is a reimagined revival of a beloved Lincoln institution. Originally founded by the late Duane Krepel, the shop was known for its wild and wonderful mix of cards, gifts, and unexpected delights. After closing in 2012, it now returns with that same irreverent spirit — recast through the eyes of local artists, layered with curated vintage, and leaning, as its name suggests, toward the avant-garde.
Re-founded by Lindsey Clausen and housed inside Archway Studios in the Uni Place Creative District.
Come browse, discover, reminisce, and find something delightfully unexpected.
Avant Card will continue beyond the holiday season, with hours shifting and aligning with neighborhood events and happenings.
