BARE's Latest

BARE is UC Berkeley’s premier arts and culture magazine. Since our debut in 2007, BARE has gained prominence on campus and national recognition in New York Times and Teen Vogue. Once primarily a fashion column, the publication has evolved into an amalgamation of social commentary, personal narrative, and multimedia design.


We are a completely student-run community, with artists, photographers, writers, and all other creatives. Each semester, we take on new contributors, create an original, themed print publication (see Issues), and present it during an exuberant launch party. Through innovation, we experiment with authentic storytelling, striking visuals, and alternative perspectives, pushing creative boundaries while staying grounded. Our mission is to amplify student work in a quality, professional-caliber setting.


We offer a range of logisitics and creative positions, so if you are interested in becoming staff, read the Join page and hear more from us on Instagram.
