Who We Are

Midland Roots nurtures creative expressions of place in the Midwest by any and all, from beginning amateur to established professional.
Midland Roots is founded on the following ideas:

• Local and regional senses of place are fundamental to a healthy society by cultivating respectful and affectionate relationships with community and nature.
• Creative expressions, in all forms, are fundamental to a sense of place.
• “Place” comprises the human relationship with an interdependent web of environments—natural, built, cultural, and social.
