# Burger Art Exhibits The Burgermat Show Invites Guests to Dine While Using Artworks as Placemats By Leslie Chen | Published 2011-06-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burgermat-show References: [blog.urbanoutfitters](http://blog.urbanoutfitters.com/blog/burgermat) & [youngandfoodish](http://youngandfoodish.com/events/burgermonday/the-burgermat-show-pop-up/) Celebrating the burger in all its glory, the Burgermat Show is like an [art gallery exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daniels-room) but for food lovers. Orchestrated by Burgerac, a blog for [burger enthusiasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-burger-tour-competition), the show will feature various artists' works along with a tasty meal by chef Fred Smith. Other artists who also appreciate the burger have created illustrations and works for the Burgermat Show. These artworks will act as the diners' placemats; at the end of the night, guests can take these home as commemorative pieces for the event. [Combining art and food together](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics), the Burgermat Show is definitely not to be missed for those who love both. It's too bad the Burgermat Show is in London or I would definitely be the first one in line for tickets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Food and Art:** Collaborations between food enthusiasts and artists can lead to unique dining experiences. - **Commemorative Dining Events:** Creating experiential dining events with personalized souvenirs can attract food lovers and art enthusiasts. - **Art-inspired Placemats:** Using art-inspired placemats can elevate the dining experience and add a creative touch to food events. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can leverage art collaborations to create unique dining experiences that generate buzz and attract customers. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can expand their reach and explore new opportunities by collaborating with the food industry to create art-inspired dining experiences. - **Event Planning:** Event planning companies can create niche dining events, like the Burgermat Show, that appeal to a specific group of consumers and provide a memorable experience with personalized souvenirs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial Design Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-burger.md) - [Painterly Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining.md) - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md) - [Artistic Hamburger Competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-the-burger-contest.md) - [Burger Branded Button-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bbh.md) - [NFT Burger Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bored-hungry.md) - [Show-Inspired Burger Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spongebob-menu.md) - [Mayo-Inspired Art Gallery Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-gallery-popup.md) - [Movie-Inspired Beef Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yes-chef.md)
