“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have”

— Maya Angelou

Welcome to the Northwest Passage!

The Northwest Passage is Western Oregon University’s student-run art and literary magazine. We publish student, faculty and alumni work once per term both in print and online on Issuu. We also publish our music submissions in a digital album during spring term. We strive for quality and this is a wonderful outlet for students attempting to build their portfolios.

Please submit your work to northwestpassage@mail.wou.edu.
