Within the pristine white walls of this award-winning contemporary art museum, RAM presents an untraditional exhibition—now in its eleventh year—showcasing art made from or inspired by fluffy, sugarcoated marshmallow PEEPS®. This year’s exhibition features 102 entries that demonstrate the talent of 137 artists from across the country.

In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, RAM temporarily closed its doors back in March. For this reason, the popular PEEPS Art Exhibition was postponed for months beyond its usual Easter holiday opening. Enthusiastic families and professional artists continued to make art inspired by the spring marshmallow treat during quarantine, despite the delay.

To promote social distancing during the run of this exhibition, the 102 works in this exhibition are on display throughout multiple galleries in the museum rather than congregated in a single gallery as they usually would be.
