Jay Heikes @ UC-Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive

Highpoint Editions artist Jay Heikes has a solo exhibition entitled "Jay Heikes: Matrix 269" at the UC-Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive through April 29, 2018. 

"Many of the objects—paintings, sculptures, and drawings—presented in this exhibition were informed by time Jay Heikes (b. 1975) spent at a residency in Marfa, Texas, in early 2017. The dry, crumbly terrain of the desert landscape and the site’s proximity to Mexico inspired his rumination and reflection on the significance of borders to our culture, a subject that has concurrently received much attention in the political sphere." - exhibition webpage

Tales from the Co-op:  Austin Nash

Born and raised in Minnesota, I grew up on a farm two hours southwest of the twin cities near Springfield (there is one in every state). Although I drew as soon as I could hold a pencil, I was equally interested in economic theories and business models. In 2014 I received my undergraduate degree in business administration with a focus on entrepreneurship from the University of St Thomas.

Community Partnership Spotlight: Spark-Y Youth Action Labs

Early fall 2017, Highpoint participated in the Spark-Y Urban Adventure Race. The event was organized with the help of CitySolve, and was a team building scavenger hunt that took place in Uptown, Minneapolis. At Highpoint, participants screen printed images of plants in our rain gardens. Once their printmaking task was complete, they scrambled off to other participating organizations in the Uptown area.
