What I didn't realize at the time was all of the other awesome art that's comprised in the exhibit. "Stages" is a touring art exhibition that benefits LIVESTRONG. At Nike’s Montalbán Theater, the exhibition was unveiled in a conference headed up by Lance Armstrong. The artwork included in the collection comes from over 21 incredibly diverse artists. Many are heavy hitters in the art world, including Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst, Shepard Fairey, Dzine, JR, KAWS, Barry McGee, and Yoshitomo Nara. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Traveling Art Exhibitions:** Opportunity to create mobile art experiences that bring art to different communities and engage new audiences. - **Art Collaboration:** Potential for artists from diverse backgrounds to collaborate and create unique art pieces that combine different perspectives and styles. - **Art for Social Causes:** Rise of art exhibitions and projects that support and raise awareness for specific social causes, creating a platform for artists to contribute to meaningful change. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Collecting and Curation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to curate and collect artwork for traveling exhibitions that can reach wider audiences and showcase diverse artists. - **Event Management:** Opportunity to specialize in organizing and managing traveling art exhibitions, providing logistical support and ensuring a seamless experience for both artists and attendees. - **Non-profit Organizations:** Potential for non-profit organizations to partner with artists and art exhibitions to raise funds and awareness for their cause, creating mutually beneficial collaborations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Graffiti Culture Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1970s-graffiti-today.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Childlike Characters Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childlike-characters-art-exhibition.md) - [Sportswear Imprint Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/originals-newcastle.md) - [Sneaker-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip.md) - [Singer-Themed Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flannels-x.md) - [Iconic Designer Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/200-trunks-200-visionaries-the-exhibition.md) - [Collaborative Designer Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-like-heaven-art-exhibition.md) - [Street Art Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frieze-los-angeles.md)
