Established in 1974, Rune is the official literary and art magazine of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Rune is shaped by the vision and creativity of staff and contributors. New members are always needed and welcomed.

We also will not turn down financial contributions if you are so inclined. :)

Curious about our staff? Well, here they are.

In our increasingly technology-driven world, and perpetually technology-saturated campus, we've found it's more refreshing, more important than ever to look at life from new perspectives, be it the tip of a pen, the lens of a camera, or the tilt of a head. If you're reading this you probably already have some appreciation of art and its possibilities and wouldn't need to hear it from us. Well, we exist to promote precisely that and hope you will support us along the way.

A literary magazine runs on the strength of the submissions it receives. We are open to submissions of visual or literary art for the the better part of each academic school year though selections are officially broken into two rounds (a fall semester round and a spring semester round). The submissions are reviewed by the staff, and the top pieces are chosen for inclusion in our publication (all artwork is returned).

Rune is funded by various MIT Offices including the Undergraduate Association and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.

If you have any questions, or would like to join our staff, e-mail the editors.

Please do not submit artwork to this e-mail address. If you are interested in submitting, please visit our submissions section.
