For this campaign, the brand worked with the [High Museum of Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emmi-milk-cartons) in Atlanta and [Boys & Girls Clubs of America](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seattle-kraken). The experience powered by AR lets people use a mobile device to reveal a virtual gallery featuring the works of eight multicultural artists, including teens from Boys & Girls Clubs. With this virtual art gallery, viewers can tap on each creative work in order to see a description of the artwork and learn more about the artist. This campaign shines a light on the fact that just 15% of creative work in museums is made by artists of color. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 18% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive AR Galleries:** Emerging trend of brands leveraging augmented reality to create interactive art galleries that showcase multicultural artists. - **Multicultural Representation in Art:** Growing trend of highlighting the work of multicultural artists to address the lack of diversity in the art industry. - **Mobile AR Experiences:** Increasing trend of using mobile devices to create immersive augmented reality experiences for viewers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage brands to incorporate augmented reality into their marketing campaigns to engage customers and showcase diverse talent. - **Art and Culture:** Opportunity for art and cultural institutions to use augmented reality to create virtual galleries that promote multicultural representation in the art world. - **Technology and Mobile:** Opportunity for technology and mobile companies to develop innovative tools and platforms for creating interactive augmented reality experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Underrepresented Artist Snack Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunchips-art-seen-packaging.md) - [Interactive AR Avocado Scans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avolotto-lens.md) - [Groundbreaking AR Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windooh.md) - [AR Bracelet Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiffany-lock-bracelet.md) - [AR Sampling Advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sampling-billboard.md) - [Generative AI Candy Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starburst-different-every-time.md) - [Augmented Reality Travel Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-murals.md) - [AR-Enabled Cereal Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honeycomb-cereal.md) - [Magazine-Integrated QR Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade.md)
