    1. Gregory Allicar Museum of Art

      The Gregory Allicar Museum of Art (formerly the University Art Museum) with a growing and diverse art collection, expanded facilities, and dynamic on-and off-site programming, is a cornerstone of Colorado State University’s arts initiatives and a link to alumni, Fort Collins, and our region. Always free and open to all, the museum invites visitors to revel in direct engagement with outstanding examples of visual art.

       

      The museum is dedicated to educational vitality, encouraging teaching and learning through interaction with art; welcoming engagement, embracing all audiences; and to honoring a diversity of art making across time periods, geographies, and cultures. We welcome visitors to enjoy a robust program of permanent and changing exhibitions and related programs, including workshops, lectures, and guided tours.

    3. Native American Collection

      The exhibition SURVIVANCE: NATIVE NORTH AMERICAN ARTS FROM THE PAST AND PRESENT features diverse works from our Permanent collection. The Anishnaabe cultural theorist Gerald Vizenor coined the term “survivance” to assert an “active sense of presence and the continuance of native stories” in a world that has suppressed Indigenous cultures. Vizenor’s purposefully ambiguous term has come to represent the work of Native cultures to survive and to resist centuries of colonization, disease, and the suppression of their languages and values.

      This exhibition, curated by undergraduate students in ART317: Native North American Art, highlights the role of art in the survivance of Native North American cultures.

       

    4. Hartford-Tanstad Collection

      The Hartford-Tandstad Collection came to the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art in 2014. The collection consists of approximately 200 works of art, including drawings, paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts, primarily dating from the late Renaissance through the 19th century. A selection of works is housed in three permanent galleries focused on themes of Global Encounters, Approaching Nature, and Dialogues with Power.

       

    5. African Collection

      Featuring key examples from the museum’s extensive collection of African Art this gallery highlights the creative diversity seen in the arts of the African continent. Not only are the arts of Africa visually diverse, spanning over 50 countries and thousands of cultures, but their functions and significance vary according to form and media. In this gallery we examine diverse expressions ranging from masked performance arts used to connect the physical realm with the spiritual, to arts of adornment promoting social standing and identity, to contemporary visual expressions.

    6. Griffin Foundation gallery

      In addition to our permanent collection installations, the Gregory Allicar Museum installs 7-10 temporary rotating exhibitions each year. The Griffin Foundation, our largest gallery, is reserved to continue this important aspect of our programming, ranging from contemporary art exhibitions as part of our Critic and Artist Residency Series to important travelling exhibitions.
