The exhibit ‘Community Smog’ is a partnership between the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art, the Center for Environmental Justice, the Department of Atmospheric Science and Northern Colorado community members to create ‘Smog Collectors.’
As part of the annual Border War game, each school’s university art museum has wagered an important work from their collection, and the winning museum will get to keep the loser’s artwork on display until the end of the academic year in May.
