  • See “Canstruction” at the World Financial Center

    Posted in Art, things to do by Julia Israel on November 17th, 2009 at 1:18 pm

    hungry-caterpillar‘Tis the season for the unveiling of holiday windows, so it’s easy to forget that there are other—dare we say, cooler—art exhibits that will get you in the spirit of the season. One you really don’t want to miss is the annual “Canstruction” show in the Winter Garden at the World Financial Center. The installation features giant whimsical sculptures made of canned goods—you’ll see huge mushrooms, a piggy bank, a caterpillar and more. Next week, the works will be deconstructed and the food will be delivered to City Harvest just in time for Thanksgiving. Entry is free, although visitors are encouraged to donate canned goods to be given to NYC’s hungry.
