Art on the Move!
Kinetic Sculpture Race & Family Day at the 

Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts

Saturday, October 17, 2009
12 noon - 4 pm

The entire community comes together at the DCCA to help celebrate its 30th
Birthday during this afternoon celebration.  Enjoy an afternoon of art
activities and entertainment with the highlight of the day watching or
participating in our first ever Kinetic Sculpture Race.  It’s actually
more of a spectacle and procession than anything and a whole lot of
fun!  Area businesses, artists, community groups, families, and kids
will have fun creating and racing their own people-powered vehicles.
Gather a group of friends, pick a theme, dress up, and laugh until your
cheeks hurt!  Enjoy bicycle-decorating workshops preceding the race and
enter to join in on the fun!  The racecourse is approximately 1.5 miles
around the riverfront.  Join in or cheer on your family and friends!  More info: www.thedcca.org
