The Kinetic Sculpture Lab is opening its doors to the community for a full day of creativity, curiosity, and treasure hunting at its Open House and Kinetic Garage Sale on April 4th from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM at its new home.

Come explore the Lab’s new space, meet the makers, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible human-powered art machines that define Humboldt’s beloved kinetic culture. This is a chance for the community to connect with local artists, engineers, and builders who bring these larger-than-life sculptures to life.

Throughout the day, Kinetic Sculpture teams will be hosting a Kinetic Garage Sale, offering up unique, quirky, and one-of-a-kind items to raise funds for their teams. From unexpected treasures to creative oddities, there’s no telling what you might find—but every purchase helps keep the wheels turning.

Refreshments will also be available for purchase, with proceeds supporting the continued growth and operations of the Kinetic Sculpture Lab.

Whether you're a longtime fan of the Kinetic Race or brand new to the scene, this event is the perfect opportunity to experience the magic of the Lab’s new home, support local teams, and score some truly unique finds.
