CANstruction in Kansas City, Part II



Members of GBA's CANstruction team defied expectations, logic, and gravity as they built this fantastic sculpture on the floor of Kansas City's Union Station. The unconventional art "exhibit," which is made up of thousands of cans, will be on display January 15 through February 11 for all to enjoy. The build-out took place on January 13, with teams from local architecture and engineering firms working through the day to complete their designs. At the close of the exhibition, all of the canned food used in the structures will be donated to Harvesters, Kansas City's Community Food Network!

GBA's very enthusiastic and creative CANstruction team was headed up by Molly Oller with lots of support from Jennifer Gunby, Tawn Nugent, Sam Wagner, Keri McGill, Megan Walter, Suzanne Berkey, Mike Burton, and Dave Mennenga.

Join the GBA team for the ninth annual CANstruction Preview Party to benefit Harvesters on Thursday, Jan. 14, 5:30 pm-8:00 pm, Union Station, 30 W. Pershing Road, Kansas City, MO 64108. Tickets are $20 at the door; kids 12 and under are free.
