After 2-year Pandemic Hiatus, AVAM’s Kinetic Sculpture Race Returns May 7

The American Visionary Art Museum’s Kinetic Sculpture Race will be back in person this year on May 7, when teams will use their people-powered kinetic art vehicles to traverse 15 miles of Baltimore neighborhoods, parks and the Inner Harbor.

Like many Baltimore events, the race has been on hiatus for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic – although the museum did hold a virtual event last year, when residents were able to watch how miniature model 3D sculptures fared over land, sea, mud and sand.

More than 20 teams have registered to participate in this year’s race. Although the official deadline to enter was April 1, teams can still enter with a late fee if they turn in their entry form to the AVAM front desk by Friday, April 29, at 4:30 p.m. Forms must be dropped off; postmarks don’t count.
