OUR PROGRAMMING AREAS:

A VIBRANT COMMUNITY

HIGHPOINT 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.

PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT AND VISIBILITY FOR WORKING ARTISTS

HIGHPOINT EDITIONS’ visiting artist studio is set up for an artist to apply new printing techniques to their practice, efficiently test prints, provide technical support, and encourage creative exploration. The dedicated artist studio allows guest artists time to work quietly, yet with direct access to HP's professional printing studio and printing staff.

CREATIVE EXPERIENCES FOR ARTISTS, VIEWERS, AND NEIGHBORS

GALLERIES annually features work from each of Highpoint’s studio programs (co-op, classroom, Jerome Residency, McKnight Fellowship, and Highpoint Editions). And twice a year, we showcase work from other national and international artists through curated and juried exhibitions. 

PROGRAMS DESIGNED FOR ARTISTS AT ALL STAGES OF THEIR CAREERS

ARTIST PROGRAMS Highpoint supports artists through the Jerome Early Career Residency Program, the McKnight Printmaking Fellowship for mid-career artists, the Full Color Print Fellowship, and the 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.
