Silhouette is the Literary and Art Magazine of the Educational Media Company at Virginia Tech. It is a forum for creative work by the undergraduate and graduate students of Virginia Tech. This creative work consists of – but is not limited to – prose, poetry, artwork and photography. Silhouette devotes itself to promoting the arts in and around the Virginia Tech community through a bi-annual magazine, readings, workshops and supporting other local arts-oriented organizations.

The Fall 2011 issue of the Silhouette Literary and Art Magazine has been released! Be sure to pick up a copy from our many locations around campus, as well as from our office in Squires, Room 344.

As you may have noticed, the Silhouette website has been updated! We are now running on the WordPress site management system, meaning better and faster updates and a much cleaner layout. The site design is a modification of SidebarsSuck by Lifecheater, inspired by the cover of our latest Silhouette publishing. We also hope to add more content in the future taking full advantage of our upgrades. Questions, comments, or concerns about the new website or the current theme? Feel free to comment below; you can do that now!
