The Racine Art Museum in Wisconsin is inviting artists to propose a large-scale installation for its returning PEEPS-themed exhibition in 2027. The paid opportunity will place a selected artist's site-specific work alongside the museum's show celebrating art made with, or inspired by, the marshmallow candy.
Proposals must be submitted through the museum's website by 4 p.m. on Nov. 15, 2026. The RAM PEEPS Brand Art Exhibition 2027 is scheduled to run from March 17 through April 4, 2027, with the chosen installation accompanying the exhibition throughout that period next spring.
The call is open to visual artists using any medium and at any point in their careers, according to the museum. Artists must develop work specifically for the installation and reflect the exhibition's lighthearted character. Using PEEPS Brand marshmallow candy as a material, however, is not a requirement for the proposed work.
This marks the museum's second year offering artists a paid opportunity to create a large-scale, site-specific installation for the exhibition. The 2026 installation was presented by Andrea Jablonski, a multidisciplinary artist based in Chicago, under the title "Enjoy the PEEPS Show."
Jablonski's contribution used the recognizable forms of PEEPS Brand Bunnies and Chicks to reinterpret iconic sculptures. The museum characterized the resulting work as playful and irreverent, bringing the candy's familiar shapes into pieces that took their inspiration from established works of art.
According to the museum, Jablonski combined references to art history and public monuments with personal memories. That approach recast well-known masterpieces as humorous, approachable objects. Her pieces paid tribute to works by Alexander Calder, Pablo Picasso, Louise Bourgeois and Jeff Koons, as well as the anonymous artist responsible for the Venus de Milo.
For the 2027 opportunity, the museum is again seeking a work conceived for its particular installation setting. Its stated requirements leave artists free to choose their medium while asking them to create something suited to the spirit of the candy-inspired exhibition.
The museum's website carries general information about the upcoming show, including guidance on creating a work for next year's exhibition. It is also the submission point for artists seeking the paid installation opportunity before the November deadline.
