Planning a trip to Atlanta to see Andy Warhol's paintings of Campbell soup cans? Don't forget to buy and take a few cans.

The High Museum of Art, taking inspiration from Warhol's painting of 32 soup cans, is collected canned goods for the Atlanta Community Food Bank next weekend, Jan. 27-29. Warhol's painting is part of the museum's "Picasso to Warhol: Fourteen Modern Masters" exhibit.

For every can, you'll get a $1 discount, up to $10. Regular admission is $11-$18.

The Campbell Soup Co. has also donated 3,024 cans of soup. Representatives of the Atlanta Community Food Bank will be at the museum to accept the donations.

Once all the cans are collected, Aaron Albrecht, a designer with the Beck Group, a commercial architecture, construction and development company, will make a sculpture using the cans in the museum's Margaretta Taylor lobby.
