Canstruction 2026

FREDERICK CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Canstruction® took place from June 19th – July 5th at Warehouse Cinemas.

Canstruction® Frederick was a one-of-a-kind community art exhibit that brought together creativity and compassion to support local families and the Frederick Rescue Mission.

She has been working with people in poverty since 1981. She says, “First, I befriend them. Then I find out what they need and refer them to the program that could best help.
