Highpoint Center for Printmaking is a non-profit art organization dedicated to the advancement of the art of printmaking. Highpoint is pleased to announce three printmaking residencies for emerging artists beginning in July 2008, made possible with generous support from the Jerome Foundation. Residencies run seven months, from July 2008 to February 2009.
General Info:
Three applicants will be chosen to become Jerome Residents at Highpoint Center for Printmaking.
These artists will receive:
- Access to a fully-equipped printshop seven days a week (Mon–Fri: 1 PM–12 AM, Sat/Sun: 9 AM–12 AM)
- Technical support from residency coordinator
- Storage space for hand tools and paper

- Group show and public opening for all artists at the end of the residency
- Digital documentation of work
- $200.00 for printmaking supplies
Eligibility:
The Jerome Residency program is open to emerging Minnesota printmakers who already possess basic training in printmaking, and can provide original examples of such work. An “emerging” artist is generally defined as an artist who shows significant potential, yet has not received a commensurate amount of professional accomplishment and recognition regardless of age or recognition in other fields. Highpoint and the Jerome Foundation reserve the right to review and determine applicant status as “emerging.”
Applicants will be judged on the artistic merit of their work, their dedication, interest, and potential in printmaking, as well as the quality and clarity of their plan for the residency. Residents will be expected to observe Highpoint's studio policies, guidelines, and etiquette. Priority will be given to artists who have had little or no opportunity to work in a professional and non-academic printshop environment. Artists may not be a student during the residency period (July 2008 - February 2009). MN residency must be maintained during the entire program. In addition, applicants must have resided in MN continuously since June 2007 or earlier. Highpoint Center for Printmaking provides equal opportunity to all individuals regardless of race, national origin, color, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. Artists of color are strongly encouraged to apply.
Facilities:
Highpoint is the premier community-access printmaking workshop in the Upper Midwest. The 4,000-square-foot ADA-compliant center is fully equipped to support intaglio, relief, lithography, and screen printing. For more information visit the facilities page on this site.
Selection Process:
Applications will be juried by a panel of three professionals, including artists, curators, and arts administrators. The jury will review materials and choose three artists to be residents.
