We curate a dynamic program of exhibitions throughout the year, with pieces available to purchase either in-person or through our extensive and accessible online store.
If, like us, you are passionate about art and supporting Australian artists, you have come to the right place! An incredible new piece of original art or a unique handmade object is just a quick visit to our gallery or a simple click away.
Our Artworks
At Boom Gallery, we exhibit a diverse array of original artworks to suit all tastes. We represent an amazing cross section of different artists, all working in unique ways. We have painting, drawing, sculpture, photography printmaking and mixed-media pieces that reflect a range of styles and techniques.
Whether you are looking for a bold abstract painting or an intricate figurative work, we have something to inspire every art enthusiast. In addition to pieces to hang on your wall, we also offer a range of unique, one-of-a-kind objects, including handmade ceramics and jewellery.
These objects will enrich your everyday whilst also supporting the makers in their practices. They also make for exceptional, ethical gifts for friends and loved ones.
From breakfast bowls to stoneware cups, vases, earrings, necklaces and rings, we have something for everyone.

Our Space
After 13 years of operating on Rutland Street in Newtown, Boom Gallery made the big move to Pakington Street, Geelong West in June 2024.
Now located in a vibrant retail and hospitality precinct, Boom Gallery is a welcoming and accessible space. Our new building was purpose built - we have an object gallery with handmade ceramics and jewellery, two beautiful exhibition spaces with shows changing monthly, two vibrant stockroom areas which are open to the public and comfortable spaces for artist meetings, consulting with clients and more!
We aim to exhibit the highest standard of contemporary art and design in a space that is both dynamic and exciting. If you’re walking or driving by and have time to spare, pop in and see some of the amazing art that we have on display.
Our Exhibitions
At Boom Gallery, we curate a dynamic program of both solo and group exhibitions across the year in our new Geelong West space. Changing monthly, these exhibitions offer the opportunity to discover new artists who are pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. We work closely with our artists to deliver engaging and interesting shows that enrich the cultural offerings in the Geelong region.
You can see our exhibitions either by visiting in person during opening hours or on our website, we have very comprehensive information online such as artwork details, artist statements, bios, images and more. All artworks in exhibitions are available to purchase either in person, over the phone or via our website.
To celebrate our artists we hold exhibition openings each month, we invite you to join us for a glass of wine, a chat with the artists and a wander through the latest shows.

Our Story
For over 13 years, Boom Gallery has consistently championed the visual arts, providing a platform for emerging and mid-career artists while fostering a vibrant creative community. Dedicated to showcasing a diverse cross-section of Australia’s finest contemporary artists, with a special emphasis on regional Victorian talent, Boom Gallery continues to celebrate and elevate the artists it represents - emphasising not just the final artwork, but the process, passion, and creativity that drive each artist's practice. With a legacy of transforming spaces into thriving cultural hubs, Boom Gallery continues to play a pivotal role in the artistic evolution of Geelong and regional Victoria.
Boom Gallery was founded in 2011 by two friends – Ren Inei and Kate Jacoby – who remain the Gallery Directors today. Both born and raised in Geelong, Ren and Kate have long had a shared background in fine art and arts education and had a goal of creating a nurturing environment for artistic expression. Boom Gallery has lived up to those goals and is today one of the leading galleries for contemporary art and design within not only the Geelong region but across Australia.
