Welcome to BOOM Charlotte! We are Charlotte’s artist-led performance and visual arts showcase of contemporary and experimental works created on the fringes of popular culture. We celebrate art, performance and the unexpected!

BOOM art experiences are a movement that believes in the explosive power of art to unite and strengthen our community. We believe art is transformational and can bridge traditional divides between social classes, races, and nationalities.

We have brought Charlotte the biggest, loudest, and most diverse arts festival since 2016. What started as a multi-day art festival in Plaza Midwood has expanded into a year-round art initiative that brings art to those who lack access to Charlotte’s larger art scene.
