History
Sweven was originally published as a monthly art insert for the Queens Journal, but due to financial and time restraints Sweven only ran sporadically from 1970- 1971. The goal of Sweven was to provide a forum for creative work on campus, largely focused on visual art pieces, photography and poetry as combined high art piece. During its run Sweven within its issues had many interesting features including covers done by local artists, annual writing contests, local history or interest articles written by authors of Kingston, and details on local art galleries. Sweven as an insert ended in 1971. Between September and December 1978, there was four issue revival of the concept in the form of separate magazine based off of Sweven’s art as run by former art insert editor. But this magazine ended after those four issues in December 1978.
