‘Canstruction’ is coming to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport beginning Saturday, Nov. 2.

The exhibit will feature larger-than-life structures made entirely out of canned goods and designed by local architectural and engineering firms.

Teams participating in ‘Canstruction’ are challenged to build interesting and inventive structures using only canned foods. The groups will have seven hours beginning on Friday, Nov. 1, at 5 p.m. to create their giant-sized art sculptures, which will then be on display for passengers traveling to the airport.

Following the exhibit, the canned goods used to build the displays will be donated to the Arlington Food Assistance Center.
