Racine & Me: RAM PEEPS® Brand Art Exhibition 2026

RACINE, WIS (CBS 58) -- Tyler Potter from the Racine Arts Museum joined us in studio for a look ahead to one of their sweetest events of the year! This spring, the Racine Art Museum is combining creativity, color, and candy in an elevated event series centered around the RAM PEEPS® Brand Art Exhibition 2026. This unexpected yet beloved annual art exhibition returns in 2026 bigger, bolder, and more immersive than ever—transforming the museum into a space of connection, confection, and artistry for all. · Open April 1–18, RAM PEEPS® Brand Art Exhibition 2026 is the 17th edition of a community exhibition featuring art made from or inspired by colorful PEEPS® Brand marshmallow candy. Since its inception in 2010, the exhibition has captured worldwide attention by inviting artists of all ages and skill levels to work with a new creative medium or subject matter. Inspired by pop culture, famous artists, sports, and everything in between, artists throughout the years have creatively combined PEEPS® with painting, ceramics, screen printing, woodworking, papier mâché, glass fusing, 3-D printing, and more. · New in 2026, the RAM PEEPS® Brand Art Exhibition expands into a larger gallery—offering additional space to feature a specially commissioned installation by a Chicago-based artist that accompanies the exhibition. Andrea Jablonski: Enjoy the PEEPS® Show is a playful and irreverent body of work that reimagines iconic sculptures through the unmistakable form of the PEEPS® Bunny shape. Drawing from art history, public monuments, and personal memory, the artist transforms well-known masterpieces into approachable, humorous objects. By filtering celebrated works through a candy-colored lens, Jablonski's reinterpretations pay homage to artists such as Alexander Calder, Pablo Picasso, Louise Bourgeois, Jeff Koons, and the anonymous creator of the Venus de Milo, while also reflecting her own background as a muralist, fabricator, and public artist. · In addition to physically expanding the exhibition, RAM and its Wustum campus are offering several new events and art classes for visitors to celebrate their love of this springtime staple. · The PEEPS 2026 season culminates with the Bunny Big Top, the first in RAM’s new closing weekend series called Eye Candy. This over-the-top sensation promises an unforgettable night of magic, masterpieces, and perhaps just a little bit of mischief as the museum comes alive with circus performers, hands-on activities, carnival games, signature treats, and more. Including free entertainment and activities alongside paid experiences, this vintage-inspired circus welcomes families early in the evening, then transforms into a grown-up funhouse after dark. RAM PEEPS® Brand Art Exhibition 2026 is the centerpiece of this extravaganza, encouraging guests to meaningfully engage with art while reveling in the spectacle around them. Early bird tickets can be purchased online for a discount through Friday, April 17. Limited tickets may be available at the door.
