 RIOT Atlanta Named UCR’s River Rock Star
UCR will present local design and broadcast studio RIOT Atlanta with our first River Rock Star Award at River Revival for RIOT's creative and innovative efforts in helping UCR protect the Chattahoochee. While providing UCR with generous in-kind support for video projects, RIOT employees participated in a river cleanup and undertook an art project turning river trash and eco-friendly materials into a mural with 200 free-standing sections (pictured above). Twenty of these sections were auctioned off on eBay this spring with proceeds going to UCR. Learn more here.
