RAM PEEPS® Brand Art Exhibition 2025
April 9–26, 2025
at Racine Art Museum
Artists of all ages and skill levels are invited to create work utilizing or inspired by colorful PEEPS® Brand marshmallow candy. Entries must be dropped off on March 28 or 29, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, or shipped to arrive no earlier than March 17 and no later than March 27, at Racine Art Museum, 441 Main Street, Racine, WI 53403, along with attached entry form.
Curating an exhibition that showcases PEEPS® artwork is somewhat unexpected for a museum. However, the concept of working with unusual materials is supported by RAM’s mission to exhibit, collect, preserve, and educate in the field of contemporary craft—a subset of art that focuses on handmade work created traditionally from ceramic, fiber, glass, metal, polymer, and wood. Artists consistently push material boundaries, so the idea that they sometimes utilize and experiment with materials produced for purposes other than art-making can be seen throughout RAM’s exhibitions and many works in the museum’s permanent collection—the largest contemporary craft collection in North America.
