Press release from the Kinetic Krew:

The Kinetic Sculpture Lab is overflowing with gratitude after more than 200 volunteers showed up in force to help clean, move, and re-launch the Lab at its new home at 1680 Samoa Blvd., Arcata, CA 95521.

Over two major cleanup weekends, February 7th and the February 21st,  Kinetic Clean-Up volunteers rolled up their sleeves to transform the Lab’s outside space. With the incredible support of the PacOut Green Team, who joined us on February 21, the Lab community removed the equivalent of four 40-yard dumpsters of material. The scale of the effort was immense, and so was the heart behind it.

We also want to recognize the volunteers who spent Valentine’s Day showing their love in the most glorious way possible: by helping us move from our original location into our new home on Samoa Boulevard. We were blown away by the turnout. Supporters traveled from as far as Redding and Grass Valley, arriving with trucks, trailers, tools, and unstoppable energy. What could have been overwhelming became uplifting because of this community!

This transition would not have been possible without the continued flexibility and support of the Yurok Tribe, who have stood behind the Lab during this period of change. We are deeply thankful for their partnership and encouragement as we establish ourselves in our new space.

The Kinetic Sculpture Lab exists because of our community of artists, welders, dreamers, builders, movers, makers, and believers. This move wasn’t just about relocating equipment. It was about reaffirming that when this community shows up, it shows up big.

To every single volunteer who lifted, swept, hauled, organized, drove, cleaned, and cheered us on: thank you. Your time, strength, and generosity are the true engine behind the Kinetic Sculpture Lab.

We are excited for what comes next because we can’t wait to keep building, creating, and dreaming big together.

For updates and ways to get involved, follow the Kinetic Sculpture Lab on social media or stop by our new home at 1680 Samoa Blvd on Monday afternoons.
