"If you've ever wanted to see a can of beans moonlight as public art-or a tuna tin transform into a TikTok star- Brookfield Place is your spot. The 33rd annual Canstruction New York returns this month, turning thousands of unopened cans into massive sculptures that blend architecture, artistry and a good cause. The live build kicks off on Thursday, October 30, when the DeSimone Consulting Engineering team will construct their entry in the Winter Garden for all to watch."
"From Friday, October 31, through Monday, November 10, visitors can explore 23 colossal creations made entirely of canned food, depicting everything from New York City icons like the Washington Square Arch to internet-famous figures like the Labubu. Each sculpture is a temporary marvel: After the exhibition wraps, every can will be donated to City Harvest, New York City's largest food rescue organization. The annual event consistently delivers City Harvest's single biggest canned food donation of the year-helping the nonprofit feed millions of New Yorkers in need."
"This year brings a few tasty new twists. Visitors can download a digital recipe book featuring inventive dishes from Brookfield Place restaurants and City Harvest's culinary education team-think Seamore's Key Lime Pie and Dig Inn's herb-marinated cannellini beans. There are also guided tours, a "People's Choice" vote and even a kids' activity worksheet for families exploring the exhibition."
