Founded in 1923, The Quarry is one of St. Olaf’s oldest student-run publications. The magazine features student-produced poetry, prose, and visual art. The online platform also showcases student performance, dance, music, and new media.
We provide a platform for undergraduate publication and strive to make connections both between arts and literature and the greater community. Every spring, The Quarry publishes a full-color magazine featuring student poetry, prose, and visual art. But we’re not just a magazine: we also host a variety of events throughout the year, supporting other forms of art around campus.
