# Alienating Drawing Projects Molly Crabapple Will Lock Herself in a Room in the Name of Art By Christopher DeLuca | Published 2011-06-10 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molly-crabapple1 References: [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mollycrabapple/molly-crabapples-week-in-hell?ref=spotlight) & [mollycrabapple](http://mollycrabapple.com/) Molly Crabapple is a visual artist whose 28th birthday is quickly approaching. To celebrate the occasion, she has decided to forgo the standard birthday cake with friends and has instead opted to lock herself in a room for five days. For five days, Molly Crabapple will push herself to cover every square-inch of wall space with her unique drawings. Molly Crabapple is interested in seeing what happens when an artist has pushed past his or her breaking. Molly launched the project on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klydoclock) and has accumulated about three times as much money as she was asking for. The popularity of this project may be the voyeur element. Molly Crabapple is offering donors the opportunity to watch the entire live over the Internet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 57% | 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) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artistic Endurance:** Artists pushing their physical and mental boundaries to create unique and immersive art experiences. - **Crowdfunding Art Projects:** Artists using platforms like Kickstarter to fund their ambitious art projects. - **Virtual Art Appreciation:** The rise of online platforms for audiences to engage with and watch live art events remotely. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Opportunities for artists to explore new boundaries and challenge traditional art-making processes. - **Crowdfunding:** The growth of crowdfunding platforms as a viable option for artists to secure funding for their projects. - **Streaming Platforms:** The demand for online platforms that enable audiences to access and experience live artistic events remotely. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Boundary-Pushing Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briony-douglas-1.md) - [Multi-Sensory Pop-Up Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popup-gallery.md) - [Abstract Fantasy Home Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstract-fantasy-home.md) - [Immersive House Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faraday-cage.md) - [Leftover Househouse Paint Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-drop.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Playful Doodle-Emblazoned Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-cox.md)
