Racine Art Museum’s annual PEEPS®-inspired art exhibition is bigger and bolder than ever

The Racine Art Museum (RAM) has announced the 17th edition of its annual PEEPS® Brand Art Exhibition, running from April 1–18, 2026. This community-driven show features artworks made from or inspired by the iconic marshmallow candy, utilizing diverse media such as glass fusing, 3-D printing, and woodworking. This year’s iteration is the largest to date, expanding into a bigger gallery space and introducing a series of satellite events including an awards ceremony and a sensory-friendly day.

The exhibition highlights the intersection of pop culture and fine art, anchored by a new commissioned installation from Chicago-based artist Andrea Jablonski titled "Enjoy the PEEPS® Show." By reimagining masterpieces by Alexander Calder, Louise Bourgeois, and Jeff Koons through the lens of confectionery, the museum fosters high-low cultural dialogue and community engagement. The event serves as a significant local economic and cultural driver, drawing global attention to Racine’s contemporary craft scene through an accessible, playful medium.
