About

Apricity Magazine sprouted from an idea: we want to encompass all art in our fold. Founded in 2016 by Margaret Siu, we are the official literary and arts magazine of the University of Texas at Austin. We are an award winning publication that accepts literary, visual, and performing works from across the world: from Austin to Taipei to Islamabad to Dublin. We then select the finest to showcase in our annual print edition, which competes at collegiate competitions. We’ve published artists affiliated with and featured by entities such as Science, British Vogue, Smithsonian Magazine, PEN, USC School of Cinematic Arts, National Public Radio, Scholastic Arts and Writing Awards, Kyung Hee University, Rhode Island School of Design, Austin Symphony Orchestra, and the American Academy of Poets.
In March 2019, Analecta merged with Apricity, making Apricity the official literary and arts journal of the University of Texas at Austin.
