The production team of 海角直播鈥檚 student-run literary and arts magazine, The Sand Canyon Review, welcomed students, artists, and community members to its 2026 preview party on May 5 at the Barbara L. Smith Event Center.

The event offered attendees an early look at the upcoming edition of the publication while providing a space to connect with the student editors and contributing artists. Guests enjoyed food and conversation as they celebrated a shared commitment to creative expression.

This year鈥檚 edition centers on the theme 鈥淭ies That Bind,鈥� inviting contributors to explore the complexities of human connection鈥攆rom the relationships that sustain us to the forces that challenge individuality. Through poetry, prose, and visual art, the publication aims to highlight the balance between belonging and independence.

The event also reflected a broader philosophy embraced within 海角直播鈥檚 creative writing community: with great power comes great responsibility. Faculty members Edward Ferrari and Ryan Bartlett have long championed this mindset, building classes, workshops, and clubs designed to cultivate emerging writers and artists. Their efforts have helped foster spaces where creativity can thrive鈥攊ncluding The Sand Canyon Review itself. Originally founded in the 1990s, the magazine went dormant before being revived in 2007, when Bartlett was asked to bring it back to life.

Now guided by faculty advisor Professor Lauren Bond, the publication continues to evolve while staying rooted in its mission to uplift diverse voices. The preview party not only marked a milestone in the production of the 2026 issue but also underscored the college鈥檚 ongoing commitment to nurturing the next generation of creators.
