Booooooom

Booooooom is a Canadian online art platform and blog launched in 2008 by Vancouver-based artist Jeff Hamada. It publishes daily content spanning art, design, film, music, photography, and creative projects, and has grown into what its own about page describes as Canada's highest-traffic art platform and one of the largest on the Internet. Over more than a decade, Booooooom has positioned itself as an authoritative voice in the new contemporary arts scene, with a particular focus on highlighting emerging talents and helping launch the careers of young artists internationally. The platform operates primarily as a curated editorial website and community hub rather than a traditional gallery or media conglomerate. Its editorial mix includes artist features, project launches, and open calls that connect creators with audiences and opportunities. The brand's identity is closely tied to its founder's curatorial sensibility and to a broad, accessible definition of contemporary creativity that crosses disciplinary boundaries. Booooooom's audience is global, but its roots and self-description are distinctly Canadian, with headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia. It remains independently operated and privately held, with no publicly disclosed parent company or stock listing. Its website, booooooom.com, serves as the central distribution channel for its articles, artist showcases, and community initiatives.
