Campaign Facts

HP2: The Campaign for a Permanent Home is a plan to purchase and renovate a 10,000 sq. ft. building in the Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis, where Highpoint Center for Printmaking’s programs can thrive—secure in a permanent home.

The time is now to build for the future—and establish a permanent home, where HP’s exceptional programs can grow and serve multiple audiences in new, exciting and more effective ways. This will be accomplished by:

  • Increasing HP’s programming and working space;
  • Creating an enhanced gallery space;
  • Improving and upgrading staff facilities; and
  • Strengthening the organizational infrastructure to fulfill its mission.
