Kinetic Sculptures are amphibious, human powered works of art custom built for the race. Each May, the American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) hosts the East Coast Kinetic Sculpture Race Championship on the shore of Baltimore's Inner Harbor in central Maryland. The eight-hour race covers 15 miles-mostly on pavement, but also including a trip into the Chesapeake Bay and through mud and sand.
The 2011 Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race will be Saturday, May 7. Preparations begin at AVAM at 8am; the race starts at 9:30am and continues all day through the city until finishing at AVAM roughly 3:30pm-5:00pm. See you there! For an idea what to expect, see last year's Spectator's Guide.
