CANstruction is officially back at Brookfield Place! 🥫✨
The 34th annual design competition has completely taken over the Winter Garden and surrounding spaces with mind-blowing, larger-than-life sculptures built entirely out of unopened cans of food.
This year, 22 teams of NYC’s top architects, engineers, and construction firms have stacked thousands of cans into structural masterpieces—including a incredibly detailed, towering high-heel Prada shoe sculpted perfectly out of sardine tins and tomato paste cans! 👠🥫
The best part? It’s public art with a huge purpose. Once the exhibition wraps up, every single can used to build these structures is disassembled and donated to City Harvest to help feed New Yorkers in need just in time for the holidays. ❤️
📍 Where: Brookfield Place, 230 Vesey St, Lower Manhattan
📅 When: October 30 – November 9, 2026
⏰ Hours: 10 AM – 7 PM daily (closes at 6 PM on November 9)
🎟️ Admission: FREE!
💡 Pro-Tip: Stop by the Information Table in the Winter Garden to grab an exhibition map and drop off a few cans of your own to contribute to the donation bin. Don't forget to vote for your favorite sculpture for the People's Choice award!
