Studio Kroner Named Best Gallery + Best Gallery Show in CityBeat’s Best of Cincinnati

Studio Kroner has been named Best Gallery and Best Gallery Show (All Else Pales 2) in the 30th annual CityBeat Best of Cincinnati awards.

This recognition comes at a meaningful moment, as the gallery enters its 5th anniversary year—a milestone that reflects both its growth and its ongoing commitment to artists, dialogue, and community engagement in Cincinnati.

This year’s honor builds on recent recognition, following a 2nd place win for Best Gallery Show in 2024 for “Yes, But Is It Art?”—Cincinnati’s first all-AI exhibition, which explored the evolving relationship between technology and creativity.

“It’s an honor to be recognized in a city with such a deep and vibrant arts community,” said Paul Kroner. “Over the past five years, Studio Kroner has been shaped by the artists who have trusted the space and the audiences who continue to engage with it. This recognition really belongs to that broader community.”

Founded as an artist-run space, Studio Kroner has presented a wide range of exhibitions and programming, fostering conversations across disciplines and perspectives.

As it enters its fifth year, the gallery continues to build on that foundation—supporting artists while expanding its role within Cincinnati’s cultural landscape.
