For a fee of $28 per month, members are given a custom frame, which was specially designed to hold art prints. After taking a short quiz, users receive a list of suggested art prints that may suit their tastes. Once a member has made their selection, they are able to swap prints with the changing seasons, or as desired, up to four times a year. As well as being able to support [independent artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-retail) in this way, Meum members have the opportunity to purchase additional framed prints to add to their ever-rotating collection. Meum speaks to the ways in which many young consumers are investing in shared ownership opportunities, rather than committing to expensive purchases. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Art Subscriptions:** Many consumers are looking for customizable and flexible art subscription services, providing disruptive innovation opportunities in the art and subscription industries. - **Shared Ownership Opportunities:** There is a growing demand for shared ownership opportunities among young consumers, which presents disruptive innovation possibilities in various industries, including art and home decor. - **Seasonal Subscriptions:** The ability to swap art prints with changing seasons offers disruptive innovation opportunities in subscription services targeting consumers looking for seasonal variety. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art:** Artificial intelligence and machine learning technology can be introduced in the art industry to personalize and recommend art pieces for consumers based on their preferences and purchase behavior. - **Subscription:** There is an opportunity in the subscription industry to provide customizable subscription services to meet the preferences of consumers with varying tastes and interests. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can provide innovative personalized solutions to consumers looking for customized decor options, by adopting AI technology to recommend products based on consumers' preferences and buying behavior. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Subscription-Based Creator Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michaels-digital-downloads.md) - [Subscription-Based Design Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/numi.md) - [Customizable Tea Subscription Plans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-tea-subscription.md) - [Professional Furniture Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koru-wfh-furniture-subscription.md) - [Affordable Fine Art Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fine-art-america.md) - [Voice-Activated Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic.md) - [Picture Framing Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-it.md) - [Flexible Design Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-design-companion.md) - [Motivational Postcard Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snayl-monthly.md)
