HOWL: Art & Literary Magazine
Every year, the students and community members at CMC come together to release a collection of art and written works. First published in 1996 and founded by Greg Gilbert, the Howl Art & Literary Magazine has graced our halls for over 25 years.
In these issues, you’ll find artwork of all kinds that reflect current events, poems that inspire emotion, and works that offer an escape. We’re proud of the works our students create and we encourage you to dive right in!
