Purple Peeple Eater – Peeps Art Exhibit

Easter isn’t a big holiday in my family, so every year, me and my husband drive to see his parents for the weekend. One event that we always make time for is the Racine Art Museum’s (RAM) International PEEPS Art Exhibition. Every year, the RAM accepts art donations and the art has to be inspired by or made out of Peeps. I think it’s the wildest concept and I’m here for it. I wanted to share this year’s submissions and share the art that I liked the best.

Image is a parrot, but lining the parrot's back are blue, pink, and yellow peeps.

Image is a sculpture of Medusa in a dark black and green. On the ends of her hair are green peeps.
Image is a huge purple monster with one eye. In the cauldron are peeps. There's a skeleton peep and a few green Frankenstein peeps.

There were a lot of great submissions this year. At the end of the exhibit, you can vote for your favorite and the winner will earn a prize. I voted for the Purple PEEPle Eater which refers to the Purple People Eaters which is a term for the Minnesota Vikings. I liked how the Purple PEEPle Eater was spooky. My husband voted for a Peep display that was a take on The Jetsons. Another fun art piece that was submitted was Peeps with Solar Eclipse glasses looking up at the sky. I believe there was also a Barbie Peep submission as well.

This year’s Peep exhibit did not disappoint. I’m curious to see what next year’s submissions will be.
