Another successful spring quarter means another round of Highline’s foremost celebration of artists of nearly every discipline. The collected works of your community’s painters, poets, and writers are taking center stage this coming Monday, June 2 for Arcturus’s 2025 launch party, showcasing this year’s theme: impermanence. 

Show support for the live readings of these spectacular submissions by stopping by the lunch (noon – 1:30 p.m.) or dinner (5:30 p.m. – 7 p.m.) launch, both of which are open to the public.

For contributors who have not yet responded to the RSVP, the Arcturus team is still accepting responses to claim your seat and request to read your material.

For those who just missed the contribution window, any Highline students are free to submit to their next addition for 2026.
