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.
This exhibition highlights the intersection of pop culture and fine art through a highly accessible community engagement model. By expanding the show's footprint and incorporating professional commissions alongside amateur works, RAM demonstrates how regional museums can foster local creativity and drive foot traffic through playful, thematic programming. The inclusion of sensory-friendly days and educational workshops further underscores the institution's commitment to inclusive public outreach.
