Published bi-annually, genesis, IU Indianapolis’s Art and Literary Magazine since 1972, provides opportunities for aspiring writers, artists, and editors. All IU Indianapolis and Herron School of Art students may submit work for consideration by the all-student editorial staff. Best of Issue prizes are awarded for Art, Poetry, Fiction, and Non-Fiction.
Editors develop skills by reading and viewing submissions, selecting pieces for publication, editing the selections, designing the layout of the magazine, and submitting the finished manuscript to the printers for publication. Each semester a public release party, with readings and art gallery, feature the student contributors. Copies of the magazine are free and distributed across campus.
