This Thursday take time out of your day to head down to the Prudential Center and see CANstruction.
CANstruction is not your typical art exhibition. There is no paint, no canvas, or photography… only cans of food. CANstruction is a competition among local architects, engineers, and students to design and build giant themed structures made entirely from full cans of food. Following the exhibits, the structures built of cans are dismantled and all of the canned food is donated to charity.
The CANstruction exhibit is a national event sponsored by the American Institute of Architects which will be hosted this year at the Prudential Center. And guess what the theme is… The New Jersey Devils, Prudential Center, the City of Newark, and Hockey.
I feel like this is not something you get to experience everyday. Unfortunately, the construction is not open to the public. (What a shame, right!) It will however, be still up Saturday evening for the game. Devil’s supporters and art fans, you’ll have to buy a ticket to see this in person. As for the rest of you… No worries- check Friday morning for a follow up exclusive by yours truly.

Not open to the public – that’s not cool man.

KC, go to the game and you can see the installation. You can get a ticket for ten bucks on game days, and that’s as cheap as a museum, if not cheaper in some cases.
I’ve been really excited for this since they announced it over the summer. I’ve seen one in New York and it is AMAZING what these architects can do with food cans. That it is all for a noble cause makes it that much better.
