# Cabana Art Tours Beach Huts on Parade By Rachel Webb | Published 2008-09-26 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-beauties-to-tour-canada References: [bathingbeauties.org.uk](http://www.bathingbeauties.org.uk/huts.htm) Earlier this summer, we saw the reinvented British beach huts for Bathing Beauties. The Bathing Beauties festival has been such a success that the revamped beach huts will travel throughout Europe. The [Bathing Beauties Huts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle-swimwear) on Parade will tour the UK and France. These revamped beach huts premiered at the [National Centre for Craft and Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bis-camp) in 2007 as part of a move to update the dilapidated and old-fashioned British beach huts that dot the coastline. The Bathing Beauties beach hut tour features 100 scale models by artists and architects that have reinvented the [Beach Hut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heatherhill-beach-house) for the first time in 300 years. The exhibition will tour to Montreal in Canada in 2009 and is available to venues until 2010. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Revamped Beach Huts:** There is an opportunity to innovate and modernize traditional beach huts with new designs and functionalities. - **Scale Models by Artists and Architects:** Collaborations between artists and architects can lead to the creation of unique and visually appealing beach hut designs. - **Touring Art Exhibitions:** Bringing art exhibitions on tour to different locations provides an opportunity to engage and attract a wider audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Tourism and Hospitality:** The revamped beach huts can attract tourists and enhance the overall beach experience. - **Architecture and Design:** Collaborations between architects and artists can lead to innovative designs in various architectural projects. - **Art and Culture:** Touring art exhibitions can create opportunities for cultural exchange and appreciation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transforming Beach-Ready Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hobby-beachy-420.md) - [Coastal Bright Red Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handegrd-arkitektur.md) - [Bespoke Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle-swimwear.md) - [Doll-Inspired Modern Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilions-of-wonder.md) - [Colorfully Inflatable Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blowup-art-the-hague.md) - [House Party Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boots-beauty-house-party.md) - [Multi-Sensory Beauty Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jardim-sol-de-janeiro.md) - [Sunscreen-Themed Beach Competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawaiian-tropic-hibiscus-cove.md) - [Literary Tourism Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jane-austen-festival.md)
