Want to propose a class to Highpoint?

Highpoint Center for Printmaking invites printmaking instructors to submit adult class proposals to take place in Highpoint’s new, expanded facility at 912 W. Lake Street in Minneapolis. Classes will take place at Highpoint and should be based on traditional printmaking methods including lithography (stone, plate or photo), intaglio (etching, solarplate, or collagraph), relief, monoprint, or screenprint. Class syllabus must be structured to fit one of the following formats: 1) 6 week course—meeting one evening per week plus two or three 4-hour weekend studio work sessions 2) 2 or 3 day weekend workshop—meeting Friday evening and/or Saturday and Sunday 3) 1 evening lecture or tutorial—meeting for 2–4 hours

For examples of class formats and descriptions please see below or view Highpoint’s past Presstime newsletters on our website.

Instructors must be fully qualified and capable of independently teaching all aspects of the course. Applicants are encouraged to submit up to three different class proposals.

Please include the following in your proposal:

• Cover letter
• Resume
• Syllabus—one for each different class you are proposing
• A short bio highlighting past teaching experience and the nature of your own work
• A CD of 5 digital images of your recent work in the print media you are proposing to teach
• And a corresponding slide list

Classes will be selected based on a variety of factors including student interest, fit with HP’s mission, curriculum goals and scheduling needs.
