This isn't just a community.
It's the beginning of a movement.

The Mid West is full of creatives.

They just haven't been connected yet.

Midwest Creative Cartel exists to bring together the filmmakers, photographers, designers, marketers, writers, makers and storytellers shaping the future of our region.

We believe creativity is infrastructure.

It's how businesses grow. It's how places build identity. It's how communities tell their stories.

For too long, creative people in the Mid West have been building incredible things in isolation.

This is our place to connect.

To share ideas. To collaborate. To champion local talent.

And to build a stronger, more connected creative economy.
