Atlantic Technological University’s has launched its fourth volume of its annual Scrimshaw Journal. The journal showcases work from students and staff (both past and present), and proudly highlighting the creative spirit thriving across all ATU campuses.
Now in its fourth year, Scrimshaw has gone from strength to strength. What began as a grassroots initiative is today a respected creative publication that brings together voices from across disciplines and campuses. The journal is edited, curated, and designed entirely by third-year students in the Yeats Academy of Arts, Design, and Architecture (YAADA), with support from dedicated academic staff.
This year’s volume features an exciting range of work – poetry, prose, short fiction, essays, and visual art – reflecting the diversity, talent, and innovation of the ATU community. Contributors include students and staff from across all ATU campuses, as well as alumni, making Scrimshaw a living archive of creativity that spans generations.
With each passing year, Scrimshaw has grown in quality, ambition, and reach. It has become a powerful platform for emerging voices and a valuable part of ATU’s cultural and academic identity. As the university looks ahead, continued support for Scrimshaw will ensure this student-led project can thrive for years to come.
The launch of Scrimshaw Volume 4 took place at the Black Box at ATU Sligo.
The event included live readings, complimentary copies of the journal, and refreshments.
