At Bubble Shooters Network, we open up bubbles by building bridges between people and art. We create emotional experiences that turn passive encounters into meaningful dialogue with art, heritage, and culture. Because we believe art, heritage, and culture should be a bigger part of daily life, because it strengthens wellbeing, empowers communities, and fosters understanding across society.

Our office

Marineterrein Amsterdam is our home base. It’s a community of organisations that make social impact, right in the centre of Amsterdam.

Our global scope in projects

We work on international projects, our experience has led us to New York City, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Berlin, Brussels, Antwerp, and more. We frequently visit other cities for projects and work remotely too.

Bubble Shooters Network was founded in 2021 by applied psychologist and social media strategist Boudewien Chalmers Hoynck van Papendrecht.

As you’ll learn quickly, we are not just colleagues, or even a team; we’re friends. We’ve known each-other for years and worked together for just as long. Three women with curly-hair, based in Amsterdam with each their own reason why they love the art world and working as Bubble Shooters.

We hope to meet you soon.
