Highpoint is . . . a place where artists gather, where people make using centuries-old techniques, where artists grow and experiment, where students gain inspiration and try new things, where we fall in love with printmaking, where we challenge ourselves, 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!
When you support Highpoint, you invest in artists, learners, and the greater arts community.
Thank you to our members and contributors on all levels.
