On March 25, 2021, an untraditional exhibition showcasing fluffy, sugarcoated marshmallow PEEPS® began its twelfth year at the Racine Art Museum (RAM). The RAM 12th Annual International PEEPS Art Exhibition featured 138 creative and entertaining entries that demonstrated the talent of over 200 artists from across the country.
Inspired by pop culture, animals, sports, and famous artists, many of the PEEPS® art entries are by local artists, families, and organizations. However, several pieces arrive every year from out-of-state. This year, PEEPS® pieces were sent to RAM from as far away as Fairfield, Iowa; Pisgah Forest, North Carolina; and Moraga, California.
After tallying 2,336 votes, RAM is pleased to announce this year’s PEEPles Choice Award winner is Funhouse by Racine artist Susan Buhler. Funhouse was also awarded Third Peep in the Adult Division during a Virtual Awards Ceremony on March 24, 2021.
This competition is sponsored by the Racine Art Museum Store and Guest Relations.
The RAM 12th Annual International PEEPS Art Exhibition is made possible in part by
PEEPS Patrons: John and Ginny Crimmings, Hot Shop Glass, Johnson Outdoors Inc., Rick Buehrens—Kewpee Sandwich Shop, Loretta Olson—Express Employment Professionals, Bob and Holly Ottum, David Koenig, Piggly Wiggly—Erie Street, Janna and Dr. Edward Waldeck, Jim and Cherry Wardrip, Nancy Wheeler.
