Highpoint Center for Printmaking, 912 W Lake Street

Highpoint is thrilled to announce a brand-new, free, weekend-long celebration of printmaking, community, and creativity! Taking place in our studios and sprawling out to our parking lot and Lake Street sidewalk, Print Fest brings together artists, neighbors, and print lovers of all ages for hands-on activities, live print demonstrations, a vendor fair, food trucks, and a collaborative public art project. Print Fest festivities also include the opening of Highpoint’s 25th anniversary co-op exhibition, featuring a salon-style exhibition of works from co-op members past, present and future.

Expanding upon the concept and spirit of Free Ink Days, this event marks an exciting new chapter in Highpoint’s history and a joyful invitation to gather, explore, and make together.

As part of Print Fest, Lynda Grafito, printmaker and inaugural TALC artist, will lead a bilingual (English/Spanish) collaborative public art project creating a temporary, large-scale, print-based artwork on Highpoint’s facade. Working primarily in linocut, Grafito draws from animals and plant life in Latin America and Minnesota to explore themes of migration, environment, and cultural connection.

Additional participating artists, a full schedule of activities, and opportunities to get involved will be announced soon. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
