RAM presents an untraditional exhibition—now in its twelfth year—showcasing art made from or inspired by fluffy, sugarcoated marshmallow PEEPS®. This year’s exhibition features 138 entries that demonstrate the talent of more than 170 artists from across the country.

Over the years, many entrants have been become experts in marshmallow candy as a material, using methods like carving, painting, hole punching, gluing, and melting to manipulate PEEPS® into incredible shapes. While the seasonal candies are still the most common material, the twelfth anniversary show also includes pieces made in a variety of other media. For the most part, anything goes, as long as it represents PEEPS®, is family friendly, and adheres to the exhibition’s size requirements.

Submissions to the RAM 11th Annual International PEEPS Art Exhibition in 2020 were on display throughout multiple galleries in the museum to promote safe social distancing. This year, the show returns to its traditional exhibition space—with a limited capacity of 15 people at one time, and social distancing guidelines alongside the museum’s existing safety protocols.
