WITH GUEST ARTISTS: ASA FEATHERSTONE, IV, ANDREA SABUGO, & NJAIMEH NJIE

Moderated by SWTGM founder, Abby Allen

Sweetgum Manor invites you to celebrate the launch of MIDTONES Photo Magazine Vol. 1: First Impressions—featuring six artists who shed light on often-overlooked communities of color in the Midwest, challenging assumptions shaped by limited exposure.

This special evening is a chance to meet three of the artists in person and experience their work firsthand while exploring what it means to be in community. 

Select works from the exhibition will be available for private sale along with event-exclusive signed copies of the magazine. 

Non-member tickets: $50

MIDTONES supports work by and about communities of color across the Midwest and Rust Belt, elevating the region’s role in the global cultural discourse.
