Located in uptown Minneapolis, The Highpoint Center for Printmaking does it all when it comes to printmaking and print education. Highpoint features a gallery for member work and visiting artist work, a studio for special editions with invited artists, a classroom for teaching local Minneapolis students, and a community print shop area where members can rent time. The Highpoint Center for Printmaking was co-founded by executive director Carla McGrath and master printer Cole Rogers in 2001 and has been educating and supporting the upper midwest printmaking community ever since. The studio offers classes for the novice to the advanced printmaker. Some awesome and fun upcoming classes include: Relief Printmaking, Polyester Plate Lithography, and Polymer Photogravure. The amount of space that Highpoint has is truly phenomenal with plenty of room for artists to work and create without feeling cramped. The studio can accommodate most types of printing such as silkscreen, relief, intaglio, monoprint and lithography. Both the visiting artist and member work were of exceptional quality and I really enjoyed the current exhibition up in the gallery called, "Made in Germany," which features work from 9 contemporary German artists. If you are planning on being in NYC during Print Week in November, be sure to check out Highpoint Editions at the E/AB fair and see what this great studio has been printing!
