On July 9, art and mayonnaise lovers are invited to experience “The Art of the Mayoment” – an exhibition of incomplete masterpieces – each one interrupted by the unmistakable taste of Hellmann’s Mayonnaise
HOBOKEN, N.J., July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — There are moments when taste takes over. When a single bite is so unexpectedly good, everything else—your thoughts, your work, even your art—just… stops. Hellmann’s is calling this phenomenon a Mayoment: a spontaneous, delicious interruption sparked by the unmistakable, delicious taste of Hellmann’s Mayonnaise. It’s not just a flavorful distraction – it’s a full pause.
In partnership with creator Kareem Rahma, Hellmann’s invites fans to explore the beauty of interruption with the exclusive “The Art of the Mayoment” gallery on July 9 at 155 Suffolk Street in New York City. Inspired by the legacy of legendary pop-artists, whose muses once included Hellmann’s itself, this gallery flips the script: What if the art stops — not for lack of vision, but because of a perfectly-timed, perfectly-made burger?
“The Art of the Mayoment” showcases bold, incomplete artworks — pieces left deliciously undone after their creators were swept away mid-stroke, mid-thought, mid-bite. These unfinished works are masterpieces in the eyes of Hellmann’s, because sometimes, the pause is the masterpiece.
“I was halfway through an incredible sandwich — the kind that makes everything else disappear — when it hit me,” says Kareem Rahma, pausing to wipe his hands. “That feeling of being totally lost in the moment, that was the spark. So I asked each artist to do the same: step away from the work, savor something delicious, and let that joy fuel their creativity. What came back was this collection — a tribute to the magic of a well-timed Mayoment.”
Guests can have a Mayoment of their own as they walk through the halls of the gallery and enjoy light bites and assorted beverages.
“At Hellmann’s, we know that a truly great moment can stop you in your tracks—especially when it comes in the form of an unforgettable bite,” says Jessica Grigoriou, SVP of Marketing, Condiments at Unilever North America. “With The Art of the Mayoment gallery, we’re celebrating those delicious interruptions and showcasing how even an unfinished work of art can tell a bold, flavorful story thanks to Hellmann’s.”
