Table of Contents for Studio One
NOTE: Digital issues are available in Digital Commons beginning with the 2012 issue.
Most of the print issues are available in the libraries; all of them are also located in the CSB and SJU Archives. Contact the Archivist ([email protected]) to request copies/scans.
Studio One is a literary and visual arts publication that began in the spring of 1976. It serves as a way for literary and visual artists to contribute their poetry, short stories, photographs, paintings, drawings, and other means of written or visual artwork.
Although the original funds for Studio One came from the CSB student government, submissions were not limited to the CSB/SJU community and contributions from beyond the campus are common and welcomed.
The first issue provides a brief introduction by the student editor, Claire Rossini, who states that the purpose of Studio One is “to support the members of our Minnesota community dedicated to [art], and to make their art available to those for whom it was made.”
Studio One was first published in May 1976. It was originally published twice a year, in spring and fall, but since 1979 it has been an annual publication. It was not published in 1981, but since 1982 it has been continually published each spring.
Over the years, there have been some issue-numbering discrepancies. The Spring 2000 edition, “volume 25,” was actually the 27th issue, numbering that has prevailed to the present. The Spring 2011 edition was published as the 34th volume, but it is actually the 36th when following the numbering system put into place in 2000.
