About The Beacon
In the spring of 2009, Chesapeake College launched The Beacon as part of the college’s initiative to share students’ creative writing. We quickly realized that the need for a creative platform expanded farther than our student body, so what began primarily as a showcase of our students’ creative abilities grew to include the writings of our faculty, staff, and alumni.
Furthermore, we at The Beacon acknowledge and embrace that “art” comes in a variety of forms. In addition to prose and poetry, The Beacon publishes other works of art such as photography and paintings. Starting in 2022, we have broadened our artistic scope to include music and the performing arts!
We are thrilled to share with you all that our community and the Eastern Shore of Maryland has to offer!
