Welcome to Main Street Magazine. Here’s the gist of this magazine-coming-from-main-street dealio — we are us, and we are you. Who does that entail? Well, any student at the University of New Hampshire that enjoys anything. But, of all things, we are individuals who most particularly enjoy the spices and flavors of life. You know - the hues and tints, the shades and the values involved in the pursuit of being a human.

We’re a think tank of creative expression — we’re quirky, funky, thoughtful, passionate, and inspired. We empower any kind of creation and are excited to express ourselves as college students and young imaginatives. We’re a mixed bag of introspection, collaboration, inclusion, and ambition. We’re amiable and welcoming, and we always embrace new contributors and cherish new ideas. We aren’t one thing, one specific person, or even a specific group of people. We are whoever wants to be us, to make up our gist, to get involved. Even if you don’t quite have a thing that you like to make yet, we’re also here for you, because art is for everybody.


We’re an ever-evolving collective that has 100 pages of a magazine to fill each semester with writing, art, photography and beyond. We’ve got YouTube videos to make, release parties to rejoice at, and a website to update in support of it all. Feel free to give us a shout at unh.mainstreetmagazine@unh.edu, check out our Instagram @mainstmag, or come by our next meeting. Happy creating!

Welcome!
