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

Through limited-run 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 showcase photo-based artists who lead with curiosity in their work and seek to capture the diverse experiences of traditionally marginalized communities across the Midwest.
