About Lousie Blouin Media

Welcome to the Blogger site of Louise Blouin Media, a platform for posts about the art publishing company of entrepreneur Louise Blouin as well as the global art scene in general. Louise Blouin Media was established for the promotion of the arts, lifestyle, travel, culture and international news. Later named Blouin Corp, the company reaches a sophisticated global audience, bringing market news and details of the latest cultural events as well as information about technology, science, business and politics.

For fifteen years prior to establishing Louise Blouin Media, Louise Blouin was co-CEO and founding partner of the leading classified advertising business Trader Classified Media. In that role, Blouin led a team of some 7,000 international employees, producing more than 400 publications through 70 companies and developing 60 internet sites – all done on a global scale across 20 countries in Eastern Europe, North America, Australia and Russia. She left that firm in 2000, and in 2003, she established Louise Blouin Media.

Currently being rebranded as BlouinArtinfo Corp, the company focuses on a targeted audience of respected tastemakers and sophisticated influencers, bringing non-stop global coverage of lifestyle, luxury and the arts across all mediums from a multitude of creative talents. The company partners with more than 20,000 institutions worldwide, including art galleries, museums, art fairs, biennials, auction houses and more. The company’s coverage includes print and digital media as well as leadership summits, sponsorships, lectures and events.

The Louise Blouin Foundation, the philanthropic organisation created in parallel with Louise Blouin Media, has one of the biggest cultural spaces in London operating on a not-for-profit basis and without government funding. Exhibitions are featured regularly at the Foundation from both renowned and emerging artists, and the Foundation also organises a packed programme of events and lectures relating to arts and culture. The Foundation was initially launched in Manhattan at the Nomadic museum before being opened in the Holland Park area of London.

The Canadian-born Blouin has become known as a dominant presence in the world of art publishing, with some 90 titles under ownership. These publications have long been recognised as authoritative voices within the international art world.
