Lance Armstrong is hosting the “Stages” [art exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-in-motion-exhibition) that opened at Paris’ Emmanuel Perrotin gallery last week. Armstrong and [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip) CEO handpicked many underground and unknown artists to pump the gallery full of life with eclectic pieces (asked to use some yellow and incorporate Livestrong or Armstrong). The exhibit is to benefit the Livestrong charity and will be heading to the United States in the near future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Art Charity Exhibits:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create unique art exhibits that support charitable causes. - **Underground and Unknown Artists:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Provide platforms and opportunities for undiscovered artists to showcase their work. - **Corporate Social Responsibility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Encourage more companies to engage in social and charitable initiatives. ### Where This Applies - **Art Galleries:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce technology and interactive elements to enhance the traditional art gallery experience. - **Charities:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize digital platforms and crowdfunding to reach a wider audience and generate more support. - **Sportswear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and ethically-produced sportswear lines that support charitable causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Cycling Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-together.md) - [Childlike Characters Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childlike-characters-art-exhibition.md) - [Collaborative Artistic Bicycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-carson.md) - [Pride-Celebrating Bike Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-artist-series.md) - [Graffiti Culture Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1970s-graffiti-today.md) - [Collaborative Designer Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-like-heaven-art-exhibition.md) - [Post-Pandemic Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonami.md) - [Singer-Themed Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flannels-x.md) - [Cancer-Supporting Run Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terry-fox-foundation.md)
