SUMMARY:International PEEPS Art Exhibition at the Racine Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Within the pristine white walls of a contemporary art museum that overlooks Lake Michigan\, the Racine Art Museum presents a rather non-traditional exhibition showcasing fluffy\, sugar-coated marshmallow PEEPS®. Over the years\, many entrants have been become experts in marshmallow candy as a material\, using methods like carving\, painting\, hole punching\, gluing\, and melting to manipulate PEEPS into incredible shapes. For this show\, Richard W. Marklin\, Jr. melted a flock of PEEPS to make Raul the Rooster\, a realistic barnyard bird; while April Harris and Autumn Kyle assembled the holiday treats into a bust of Black Panther Peeper. \nThis year\, the RAM 17th Annual International PEEPS Art Exhibition takes place now through April 18th; awards will be handed out after. Previous shows have drawn over 4\,000 visitors to the museum during its three-week run\, setting daily spring attendance records along the way. Previous pieces included Peep Swift: The Marshmallow Era (yes\, channeling Taylor); the It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere parrot-looking PEEP with the Jimmy Buffett vibe; Funky Peepcock fashioned in sparkling glass beads and feathers; Pop Art Peeps crafted in glazed stoneware; and Sweet Meets Wild\, an inlaid box made of different hardwoods. Inspired by inventive puns\, pop culture\, sports\, and famous artists\, many of the PEEPS art entries are by local artists\, families\, and organizations but quite a few artists from out-of-state also participate. \nVote for Your Favorite PEEPS\nStop by the museum to vote for your favorite PEEPS creation. You will decide who wins the coveted PEEPles Choice Award\, announced at the end of the show. \nYou’ll find the Racine Art Museum along Main Street/Highway 32 in downtown Racine\, just blocks from Lake Michigan. Highways 20 and 38 also bring you downtown\, and Highway 11 is just to the south. It’s a little over a 10-minute drive east of I-41/94\, depending on traffic and how you lit the lights. There is plenty else to see and do there\, from picking up a fresh kringle at one of Racine’s famous Danish bakeries to exploring the city’s heritage at the Racine Historical Museum\, enjoying the beautiful harbor and waterfront\, shopping the stores of 6th Street and Main Street\, or even exploring Hotel Verdant\, the new boutique hotel downtown. These are all within walking distance of the Racine Art Museum! \nInternational PEEPS Art Exhibition Address: \nRacine Art Museum\n441 Main Street (Highway 32)\nRacine\, WI 53403\n(262) 638-8300\nWebsite\n \n\n\n\n\n \nPEEPS Exhibit called “Mt.
