What is Canstruction?

Canstruction® is a global charitable contest in which architects, engineers, contractors, and students vie to create massive structures using only full cans of food. Rochester is one of 100 cities in North America participating in Canstruction® Competitions in the upcoming year. These remarkable structures, constructed by leading architectural and engineering companies, showcase both creativity and compassion. They make a positive impact by boosting the morale of those in need, raising public awareness, and most importantly, collecting millions of pounds of food for local food banks.

Each year, the Canstruction® Rochester competition is held at The Strong Museum of Play.

Our Current Project

This year's theme is "Pumpcans, Witches, and Ghostly Goods", and we're excited about the spooky scuplture that we have underway. The exhibition will be at The Strong Museum of Play October 14th through November 2nd. Please support us by donating funds to help pay for the cans and other materials that we need for our sculpture.
