Highpoint Center for Printmaking

Highpoint Center for Printmaking is a place where artists gather, where people make using centuries-old techniques, where artists grow and experiment, where students gain inspiration, where we fall in love with printmaking, where we challenge our skills, and where we build community.

Since 2001, Highpoint has been a unique art center in Minnesota where visitors, artists, students, collectors, and the community can come together to create, develop skills, and learn about printmaking. With over two decades of educational arts programming, Highpoint continues to provide artist opportunities, workshops, and state-of-the-art print facilities to grow access to the printmaking arts in Minnesota and beyond!

We owe a sincere thank you to all our members, artists, and contributors on all levels. Community engagement truly makes this possible. Learn more about one-time donations, membership, and other ways you can help us sustain print programming. Thank you for being here and for your generous support!

"What drew me to Highpoint was their state-of-the-art studio, availability of many different printmaking styles, and a clear commitment to diversity and community. "
-Jasper Duberry, Full Color Print Fellow and co-op member

"Highpoint provides so many great programs. The educator in me has a heart for all education-related programs. Anything that helps folks learn about and experience printmaking gets me excited. Being able to teach at HP is always so rewarding; I love to engage with students." - Grace Sippy, McKnight Printmaking Fellow

ARTIST SUPPORT PROGRAMS
Highpoint supports artists through the Jerome Early Career Residency Program, the McKnight Printmaking Fellowship for mid-career artists, and the Full Color Print Fellowship and Teaching Artist Learning Community for BIPOC artists. These programs provide a monetary stipend, access to the Highpoint co-op space, exhibition opportunities, technical support, and more.

PRINT EXHIBITIONS
Highpoint Galleries annually feature work from each of Highpoint’s studio programs, and showcase work from other national and international artists through curated and juried exhibitions.

HIGHPOINT EDITIONS 
A visiting artist program where professional artists collaborate with the printshop staff to expand their practice and create new works in print, many for the first time.

HIGHPOINT'S CO-OP
The co-op has been a core part of HP’s mission since its founding in 2001.  Co-op artists gain access to HP's printmaking facilities, equipment, and storage, receive discounts on classes, and benefit from mutual feedback and support, encouraging individual artistic growth and contributing to a sense of community.
