A movement is a BeautyMovement if it embraces all the wondrous experiences our universe has to offer to sentient beings such as ourselves. A worrisomely large number of religions avoid this way of thought, claiming instead that we should wait to experience transcendent beauty in an unknowable Heaven.
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,--that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." -"Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats
Well, this famous statement is a little over-the-top, but beauty is nevertheless more important than some might suppose. Surface appearances can connect to and motivate deeper truths and purposes. A deep sense of the beauty of life and of the immense cosmos in which we find ourselves is a main reason why humans have become what we are today: beings who revel in exploration, in learning and understanding all that we can about our world while never losing our core sense of wonder at the grandeur of Creation. It will also serve as one of the major forces that drives us to pursue TheDestiny: we want to learn what's out there, and we want to learn it firsthand. Robotic explorers are enough for now, but not for long.
