Queen City Clay on display at UC Clermont
Local ceramic studio’s exhibit opens April 1; reception on campus April 12
Artists from Cincinnati-based Queen City Clay will display their work in a new exhibit, “Eighteen Years in Service,” April 1-June 27 in the University of Cincinnati Clermont College Art Gallery.
The artists also will be on hand for a reception Friday, April 12, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. All UC Clermont Art Gallery events are free and open to the public.
Participating artists Ben Clark, Beth Suellentrop, Jon Stein and Chrissy Trout have been working together at Norwood’s Queen City Clay since 2005. Each of the artists maintains their own unique studio practice in addition to their collective effort in running one of the largest public ceramic studios in the United States.
Queen City Clay strongly connects to the region through education and public events. The studio houses a teaching studio, exhibition gallery, warehouse, retail shop, pottery-painting studio, kids art program, business co-op, artist-in-residence program, slip-casting business and rental space for creative companies and individuals.
The UC Clermont Art Gallery is in the Snyder building on the college’s campus at 4200 Clermont College Drive, Batavia, Ohio. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., or by appointment. Learn more at ucclermont.edu/community-arts.

The Niehoff Center for Film and Media Studies at the University of Cincinnati invites the campus and community to delve into the thought-provoking “2026 UC European Film Series: Perspectives on Our World.” Five recent films will be screened, with introductions and discussions led by UC faculty. Using a variety of genres and forms, these films encourage audiences to think about their place on the planet, in relation to civic engagement, to the natural world, to others, and even to space aliens in Moravia. “The series is a mix of realism, reality, comedy, and escapism that we hope will make you see things differently,” said Michael Gott, Neihoff Center director of programming and College of Arts and Sciences professor. “Film can make us rethink our ideas about the world and see things from different perspectives.” Past topics have ranged from artificial intelligence to migration, urban spaces, and women in film. Following each screening, discussions with filmmakers and UC faculty aim to spark meaningful conversations.
