Kinetic Sculpture Race Canberra

One day event. Human Powered Art Sculptures over land, sand and water. A spectacle of proportions Canberra has never seen before.

On Oct 22nd, 2022, the streets of Canberra will be filled with wacky, colourful moving sculptures, racing to Lake Burley Griffin to test their human-powered engineering in the most terrifying arena of all: the water.

Will the sculptures sink or swim? Will they make it back to Haig Park? Most of all, who will go home crowned Grand Champion, superior across the fields of Art, Engineering, Speed, and Pagaentry?

Come along to find out.

This event is supported by the ACT Government's City Renewal Authority through the City Grants Program.
