Ellipsis Magazine Wants Your Art!

Ellipsis Magazine 

By Margaux Barrett 

Ellipsis Magazine has a long relationship with the English department: Tia Parisi, former president of Ellipsis, minored in Creative Writing. Margaux Barrett, current president, is an English and Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience double-major. 

Ellipsis Magazine is Villanova University’s premier art and literary publication. Formerly known as Arthology, the organization transitioned during 2020 under the leadership of its then-president Tia Parisi ‘21. The goal of the transition was to create a platform where Villanovans across all majors, not just those artistic-minded, would feel encouraged to share their stories. 

Now in its seventh year, the magazine has been receiving more submissions than ever before. When asked what could be driving this increase, the current president, Margaux Barrett ‘26, explained, “It’s a combination of factors. I think there’s been a resurgence of physical and visual media with young people—especially in the face of AI. Plus, we have a wonderful community. Lots of great and talented people. We’ve been really lucky.”

This February, the magazine is gearing up for the design of its 2025-2026 edition, planning to be released campus-wide in late March. The deadline for student submissions is February 27th. Poems, paintings, photographs, sketches, as well as other multi-media work are accepted. 

To submit your work, please email ellipsis@villanova.edu and include your name, graduation year, and title of work. You can also follow Ellipsis Magazine on Instagram at @vuellipsis to stay updated on the organization’s events and publications.
