The PEEPS® Company will be contributing First, Second and Third Prizes to the best of show.
For several years the Clay Glass Metal Stone gallery has joined in the national Peeps craze, presenting dozens of gooey dioramas made from the iconic Easter candy- PEEPS. Gallery artists have made clothing from Peeps and tortured every conceivable pun in creating funny, scary, kooky and clever works of art from these sugary candies. From the Cannibal Peeps who roasted their fellow Peeps around a campfire, to Little Bo Peep, and Peeps at the Beach, the creativity escalated with dozens of depictions. This year artists from around Palm Beach County have been invited to join the exhibition. These artists will be judged by Greg Rice, Lake Worth’s un-official mayor and local celebrity. The public is invited to visit the opening of this show and to try to influence Greg’s judgment. At stake are one cash prize and three wonderful prizes presented by PEEPS®.
The PEEPS show will be the last major arts event presented at the Lake Avenue Gallery. On April 1 the gallery will move to its new home at 15 South J Street. On Friday, May 3rd the gallery will celebrate its 4th anniversary with its usual Monarch Butterfly Release.
