Watch creativity come to life — all for a great cause. Stop by to watch the build. Stay to be inspired.
On Wednesday, April 30, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., a record 21 teams will be hard at work building their larger-than-life structures made entirely from canned food right inside Meadowood Mall. Then, from Thursday through Sunday, the completed masterpieces will remain on display for the public to enjoy.

Hosted by the American Institute of Architects Northern Nevada (AIANN), CANstruction Reno combines bold design, teamwork, and compassion — all to benefit the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. When the event is over, all canned food used in the displays will be donated to help nourish neighbors facing hunger across northern Nevada and the eastern California Sierra.
Join us at Meadowood Mall and be part of something truly uplifting.
Art with heart. Impact you can see.
