Is it Cool to be an Art Nerd?

Earlier this month Jay Z and Beyonce visited the Louvre and the Frieze Art Fair, following a trend of many celebrities by showing their interest in art. Of coursed they documented the whole trip via.Instagram. During their course, they caused the Frieze Fair to sell out this year, even though it's £24 for a student (We aren't made of money) and much more for an adult. I feel this is a definite turning point for the status of art, is it now cool?

The art scene is on the rise and being creative is something to boast about nowadays. Walk into Camden or Shoreditch and it is a wave of independent art galleries, collectives and 'art' coffee shops. With films being released this month like Effie Gray and Mr Turner, and designers like Valentino basing their collections on the Pre-Raphaelites, our cultural scene is really showing the influences from the past. For once my nerdy knowledge of Art History is helping me out.

And now thanks to Tumblr, the art selfie has become one of my main themes while procrastinating. Scrolling through Tumblr I've seen many marble sculptures being snapchatted or taking selfies. It is brilliant. Our generation has literally taken the two hypes in life, snapchat and art, to create humorous pictures.
