Second Annual “PEEPS SHOW”
Friday April 20, 2012
6 PM to 9 PM
Tonight, April 20, the Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery, 605 Lake Avenue in downtown Lake Worth, will once again be covered in sticky, marshmallow “Peeps.”
Once thought to be a kitschy, marshmallow candy seen only in Easter baskets, Peeps are now a staple in the art world! Annual Peeps' Shows, featuring 3-D art and dioramas created using multi-colored Peeps candy, are held throughout the country. CGMSG will be flooded with Peeps of all kinds, shapes and colors.Artists from inside and outside the gallery will be constructing dioramas and tableaux using Peeps as their core element.This year there are rumors of “Peeps Couture” and much more.
Last year’s inaugural show was a “sweet” success, with hundreds of folks flocking to the gallery to view the gooey art installation.We invite all ages to join us for this show, and sample a Peep or two while you visit.
The Peeps Show will be a 3-D art display featuring works created with marshmallow Peeps. The idea was originally presented by the Washington Post several years ago. Each year the Post holds a Peeps art contest, inviting folks to submit their Peeps creations to be judged, with winners receiving different prizes.
Never let it be said that Clay Glass Metal Stone artists let a good idea like this escape them.“Our show is just for the fun of it, or should I say “peep” of it,” said Karen McGovern, inspiration behind many of the innovative themes the gallery has used in past exhibits. “It involves local artists as well as CGMS Gallery artists. We have new artists in the Gallery and we can’t wait to see what inspiration the Peeps will give them.”
Each diorama will be no smaller than a shoebox, and only as large as can be carried by one person. The works will be displayed in the front window of the Gallery beginning April 20th at 6:00 PM, and will remain on display for the following week, or until the ants arrive.
Please come take a “peep,” and be sure to wear your favorite Peeps inspired creations! Last year guests arrived in Peeps decorated hats. We encourage all to join the fun and wear your Peeps proudly! Clay Stone Cooperative Gallery is sponsored by the Flamingo Clay Studio, a non-profit arts organization whose mission is to provide affordable studio and gallery space for three-dimensional artists. The gallery is located at 605 Lake Avenue in downtown Lake Worth. Gallery openings are the first and third Friday of each month from 6-9PM.
