Aspirations Literary/Art Magazine

Aspirations is an annual literary/visual arts magazine that has been published by Mercer County Community College for more than twenty years. Its goal is to cultivate the talents of area high school students and allow them to share their work with the community. Each year the college invites local high schools to participate in a competition from which the very best in original art and writing is chosen for publication. Each spring, when Aspirations appears, the college hosts a recognition program to acknowledge the contributors and their brilliance.
