On this edition of Wisconsin Weekend we hear about two special spring art exhibits going on in the state, one involving a notoriously sticky candy and another some fragrant flowers. We hear how the Milwaukee Art Museum elevates their regular art displays with flowers and we learn about the artists creating masterpieces from PEEPS, the Easter candy, in Racine.
