As an online creative arts journal, KLIO encourages, amplifies, and  celebrates a diverse range of literary and artistic media from Penn State creative artists.

Like our sister print journal Kalliope, we publish traditional creative writing and visual art intended for the page, but we also aim to use our online platform to share digital and cross-disciplinary works, including performance art, music, dance, and film.

Klio seeks to showcase and keep a community record of creative arts from all Penn State campuses. We strive to provide an inclusive community to celebrate the creative and linguistic talents of emerging  Penn State artists and writers. We pride ourselves on being a multimedia publication that represents diversity in art, perspective, and culture.

Both Klio and Kalliope take their names from the Muses called upon by        early Greek writers and artists for inspiration and creative guidance. The Greek word kleô, meaning “to proclaim or celebrate,” gives the muse her name and gives us our mission. Here at Klio, we celebrate and offer a platform for all Penn State students to express their creativity.
