Literary Arts
and Studies

Each spring the Literary Arts and Studies Department organizes a multimedia exhibition that showcases the range and diversity of work completed in or inspired by Literary Arts and Studies classes. Often exploring the relationship between word and image, these outstanding examples of student work range from analytical research papers to digital poetry to installations that combine text and other media. The annual show includes analytical research papers, journalistic pieces, original poetry, fiction and memoir, and an exciting range of multimedia pieces that bring together text and image. Readings, performances and a publication of selected writing projects add engaging elements to the opening night festivities.
