Here at Happy Captive, we are held prisoner to words, to their every whim and desire. We are so absolutely, utterly captivated by words, and there is no escape—but even if we could, we wouldn't want to escape. And we hope that, as fellow writers, artists, and readers, you feel this way, too. We writers oftentimes follow words around longingly, pining for the day that they look back at us and smile. We want to see the work that is the result of that feeling—when the words you so love, every once in a while, love you back.

Inklings Arts and Letters is a magazine of visual art and creative writing by and for Miami University students. We publish work that pushes formal boundaries and reflects the diversity of perspectives in this campus’ vibrant creative community. We accept photography, painting, sculpture, collage, digital art, poetry, short stories, creative nonfiction, multimedia works, and every amalgam in between.

Students of any major can submit their work during our fall or spring submission periods. If you are interested in joining our staff, please fill out this form. Our staff meets weekly to review anonymous submissions and evaluate their form and content strengths.

A cherished handful of Inklings’ favorite things: zines, the experimental, teeth, the moon. We’ve also had a hankering for both collage and collaborative art events recently, which we don’t see fading any time soon.

Every semester, we host a full-moon reading and an issue release party at Kofenya (another old Inklings favorite!). Inklings not only offers experience in collaborating on a large-scale publishing project but brings together an eclectic community of strange and wonderful creatives. Whether a staff member, a contributor, or an attendee, Inklings is delighted to bump elbows with you!

Check out our instagram @inklingsartsandletters to get to know us a little better.

MUCC's mission is to build an engaging and inclusive community of artists at Miami University, through ceramic-related activities. *Due to facility and university restrictions, MUCC is not an organization that can use the ceramics studio facilities such as kilns, wheels, and clay. Miami only allows students currently enrolled in a ceramics course to use studio materials, and our club includes people beyond that scope. HOWEVER, we do host ceramics related events, like pottery sales, info sessions, and artist talks. We encourage anyone who has interests in ceramics to join! Our community of ceramic artists here at Miami has a lot to offer.

* The Empty Bowls event is an exception because it is a collaboration with a larger charitable event.

Membership Benefits
Free access to all of our glazes and free opportunities to sell and display your artwork on campus.
