The Curry Arts Journal enlivens artistic expression at Curry in publishing an appealing, professional edition of student writing and artwork each year and in sponsoring workshops, readings, and coffeehouses that celebrate student voices each semester. 

Always expanding its vision and scope, Curry Arts Journal 2006 was the first edition in recent years to include an excerpt from a full-length play.  Shared Guilt, written by English major Michael Miceli, Class of 2006, was also performed on campus through Curry Theatre to rave reviews last spring.

The Curry Arts Journal Practicum, ENG 2535, is a two-credit practicum that gives students hands-on experience in producing a literary arts journal.  As staff members of the Curry Arts Journal, students engage in all aspects of the years’ edition, including critiquing, editing, proofreading, design, layout, publicity, and events planning.  The creation of the Curry Arts Journal Practicum in Fall 2003 marked an exciting change in the operation of the Journal.  Up until that date, it had been published through the volunteer efforts of a Curry student club or organization.  Over the last three years, the classroom setting has created a consistent time (MWF, 11:30 a.m.-12:20 p.m.) and place (the Levin Library Seminar Room) for Curry Arts Journal staff members to engage in the work of the Journal.  The two-credited contract has encouraged students to invest in the work’s outcome and influence content, design, and layout more fully than ever before.

Students interested in submitting to the Curry Arts Journal or participating in the Practicum are welcome to contact Faculty Advisor and Practicum Instructor, Karen D’Amato, kdamato@curry.edu.
