Boathouse is a culture magazine. We call it a magazine, even though it is all online because it functions as such: publishing engaging editorial daily. We provide our community with passionate, trustworthy, and informed points of view on a variety of topics that are locally focused: arts, culture, food and drink, music, politics, and more. Our writers are a stable of community contributors that range widely in age and background due to the transient university population — from college undergrads to seventy-somethings, the magazine is comprised of engaged community members with an impressive array of experiences to draw from. The Boathouse enters its 4th year of publishing in 2022, and certainly, we’ve developed a particular aesthetic and personality over time. Our founding principle is this: The Boathouse exists as a platform for you, the reader, to engage with and shape if you’re interested in that. We welcome contributions and want you to be involved. Follow us across our social media pages to provide commentary where you see fit. Publisher
