As Highpoint celebrates 25 years, we’re looking ahead—investing in artists, educators, and the future of printmaking. Press Forward is our anniversary campaign supporting three initiatives that expand access to printmaking, deepen artistic practice, and bring new voices into the field.
Highpoint Editions, where we partner with leading contemporary artists to create ambitious new prints, advancing the possibilities of the medium through close collaboration with our lead printers.
Teaching Artist Learning Cohort (TALC), which supports early-career, Minnesota-based BIPOC artists as they develop their teaching practice—building skills, sharing knowledge, and expanding access to printmaking in our community.
National Artist Residency, a new program that will provide visiting artists with dedicated time and space to create new work, fostering experimentation while connecting national artists with the Highpoint community.
Together, these programs support artists at pivotal moments in their careers and ensure printmaking remains a vital, evolving force in contemporary art.
Make a gift to Press Forward and help shape the next 25 years of printmaking at Highpoint.
When you support Highpoint, you invest in artists, learners, and the greater arts community.
