 Kayem Unveils Traveling Art Series Showcasing Hot Dogs in Historic Moments with MFA Boston

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Kayem, New England's #1 Frank, is celebrating in a distinctly playful and patriotic way with its "There When It Mattered Most" campaign, a creative reimagining of defining moments and figures in American history featuring hot dogs. 

  

The campaign comes to life in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), transforming key historical artworks and figures by inserting hot dogs into pivotal scenes from the nation's founding, whimsically telling the "true story" of the role that this iconic food played in fueling the birth of a nation. 

  

The 'There When It Mattered Most' artwork will appear in a one-day 'exhibition' in Boston's Faneuil Hall Marketplace on June 4th, before the pieces travel to additional locations in New England throughout June and July. They will also be featured on Kayem social media throughout the summer.
