The UNBC Arts Club is more than just a Student-Led Organization (SLO); it’s a vibrant hub for artistic expression, collaboration, and inspiration at the University of Northern British Columbia. Throughout the school year, we host a variety of events and activities that celebrate creativity in all its forms, welcoming students from all backgrounds to explore and share their artistic talents.
In past years, some of our most beloved events have included the semesterly Pints and Poetry night, where fiction writers and poets gather to share their work in the cozy, relaxed atmosphere of The Thirsty Moose pub on campus. Another highlight is Pulp Mill Fiction, our annual student anthology that showcases a diverse range of writing from the UNBC community. Additionally, in the spring of 2023, we hosted the Laid-Back Art Show, an open and informal event that celebrated visual art in a welcoming environment.
For 2025, our mission is clear: to foster a supportive community of artists and creators while inspiring everyone—regardless of skill level or experience—to get involved. Whether you’re a seasoned writer, an aspiring visual artist, or someone who loves crafting for fun, the UNBC Arts Club has something for you.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that creation in any form deserves celebration. That’s why we’re excited to introduce new events for 2025, including a monthly Writing Support Group, designed to connect and uplift writers at every stage of their journey. Of course, our popular Pints and Poetry event will also return in the spring, offering a space for students to share their literary talents in a fun and supportive setting.
We’re also thrilled to invite submissions for the next edition of Pulp Mill Fiction! Writers of short fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry are encouraged to share their work for a chance to be featured in this treasured anthology.
Whether you’re a returning member or a newcomer, the UNBC Arts Club warmly invites you to join us at our upcoming events. Follow us on Instagram @unbcartsclub or reach out via email at arts.club@unbc.ca for more details.
Let’s make 2025 a year of creativity, connection, and inspiration. Happy creating!
