MIDTONES is a photography magazine that supports work by and about communities of color across the Midwest and Rust Belt.

Through limited-run annual magazines, exhibitions, and special collaborations, our mission is to foster an environment of listening, strengthen our creative community, and elevate Middle America’s role in the global cultural discourse.

We seek to showcase photo-based artists who lead with curiosity in their work and seek to capture the diverse experiences of people of color in the Midwest.
