# Inclusive Mural Exhibitions 'Color Me Blank' is an Interactive Painting Wall of Self Expression By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-02-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-wall References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/Color_Me--Projects--Gear.html) & [andrewneyer](http://andrewneyer.com/color-me_____/) Graphic artists Andrew Neyer and Andy J. Miller, both known for their [minimalist drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play) using stylized lines, collaborated to create a big painting wall for others to interact with. 'Color Me Blank' showcases bold outlines in an otherwise white room with giant paint markers. As Andrew Neyer explains, no one was instructed to color in the wall, it was just a natural reaction for people to pick up the marker and interact with the mural. Many utilized the experience to express their own individuality and did not stay within the lines created by the artists -- even the glasses were painted over. The 'Color Me Blank' painting wall demonstrates how [joint creativity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-dandelion-day) results in colorful expression. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Murals:** The trend towards interactive murals provides opportunities to engage with users in innovative ways. - **Self-expression Spaces:** Creating spaces that encourage self-expression through art and design offers novel opportunities to engage with the public. - **Minimalist Collaborations:** Collaborating with minimalist artists to create customized installations offers unique opportunities for user engagement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Exhibitions:** Inclusive mural exhibitions offer new opportunities for interactive art projects. - **Interior Design:** Creating interactive mural spaces can be incorporated into innovative interior design strategies that increase user engagement. - **Event Planning:** Incorporating interactive mural spaces into event planning can provide attendees with an immersive experience that encourages self-expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Art Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyone-draw.md) - [Interactive Creativity Home Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-interactive-wall.md) - [Customizable Kids Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface.md) - [Creative Play Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpie-studio.md) - [Collaborative Drawing Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boring-canvas.md) - [Expressive Meal Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blank-happy-meal.md) - [Voice-Activated Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic.md) - [Immersive Spring-Themed Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colors-in-bloom.md) - [Mural Design Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-by-squares.md)
