# Photographing Art Enthusiasm The Visually Expressive “Jumping in Art Museums” Blog By Sandra Winn | Published 2008-12-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/documenting-art-enthusiasm-jumping-in-art-museums References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/archives/2008/12/art_jump_at_the.php) & [jumpinginartmuseums.blogspot](http://jumpinginartmuseums.blogspot.com/) Allison Reimus, a [MFA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dramatic-arts-building) student at [American University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-by-american-express-platinum), has created a truly unique blog called “Jumping in Art Museums.” She describes herself as the “Art Jumper Team Captain”, as well as an “avid art jumper.” People from all over send their pictures to Reiumus’ “Jumping in Art Museums” blog, to share with her photos of their enthusiasm over a work of art that makes them leap into the air for joy. I really appreciate the “Jumping in Art Museums” blog for the shear fun of it alone. And, especially because I’ve grown tired and weary from seeing news photos of depressed and grief stricken stock brokers and consumers and images of war. If you plan on [visiting a museum soon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-museum), you may find it a great opportunity to temporarily escape from the harsh economic reality facing all of us right now, and photograph your jump for a favorite piece of art, and send it to Allison Reimus at her “Jumping in Art Museums” blog. In looking at the expressions of the participants who’ve sent their photos in, everyone one looks like they’re having a great time! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Art Museum Instagrammable Moments:** Opportunity for museums and artists to create visually compelling installations that encourage visitors to take photos to share on social media. - **Interactive Art Installations:** Opportunity for artists to create pieces that inspire physical engagement and playfulness in viewers. - **Crowdsourced Social Media Campaigns:** Opportunity for brands and organizations to create campaigns that rely on user-generated content to engage with audiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Museums:** Art museums can leverage social media and interactive installations to attract younger audiences and create more engaging visitor experiences. - **Artists:** Artists can create pieces that inspire playful interaction and physical engagement in viewers, encouraging a more active and participatory approach to art. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Brands can create successful social media campaigns that rely on user-generated content by encouraging consumers to create and share their own photos and videos related to the brand. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Traveling Fine Art Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/get-out-there.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Visual Museum Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-campaign.md) - [Photograph-Centric Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photography-seoul-museum-of-art.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Art Exploration Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arts-every-time-art.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Boundless Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frameless-experience.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md)
