The Racine Art Museum has announced the winners of its annual PEEPS art exhibition, a community-focused event where artists create works using the iconic marshmallow candy. The exhibition, which features these whimsical, edible-art entries, is now open to the public and will run through April 18.
The Racine Art Museum (RAM) has announced the 17th edition of its annual PEEPS Art Exhibition, running from April 1–18, 2026. This year’s community-driven showcase moves into a larger gallery space and features a special commission by Chicago artist Andrea Jablonski titled "Enjoy the PEEPS Show," which reimagines iconic sculptures by artists like Picasso and Bourgeois using the marshmallow candy's form. The event includes a diverse range of media, from 3-D printing to glass fusing, submitted by artists of all ages.
The Racine Art Museum (RAM) opens a new exhibition, 'Designed by Me: Imagined Jewelry Realized,' on September 10, 2025, featuring jewelry pieces designed by local children ages 5 to 18 and crafted by Rasmussen Diamonds, a Racine-based jeweler celebrating its 125th anniversary. Winning designers Leo Philipp, Cali Jacobs, and Savannah Yanakowicz had their drawings transformed into fine jewelry by goldsmiths Laura Istvanek and Lizzie Spankowski, with the original drawings displayed alongside the finished pieces. The exhibition runs through October 4, after which the three winning pieces will be auctioned to benefit charities chosen by the young designers: Kindred Kitties, Wisconsin Humane Society, and Rescue Outreach.
