The Midland Arts Council was established in the fall of 2005. It's first exhibit—The Centennial Exhibit—was held in the summer of 2006 and coincided with Midland's 100-year celebration. This impressive show featured the works of many talented Midland artists and was well-received by the over 3,000 people in attendance.

The members of the Midland Arts Council committee come from a multitude of backgrounds and reflect the diverse and colorful population of the town itself.
