Highpoint Center for Printmaking

Highpoint Center for Printmaking is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the art of printmaking. Our goal is to provide a welcoming space, where artists, students, and community members of all backgrounds can create, develop skills, and learn about printmaking. 

Highpoint opened in the spirit of service. Since our founding in 2001, we continue to be the only printmaking center in the country that offers such a wide range of public access and artistic opportunities. We offer educational classes for youth and adults, a cooperative printshop, artist fellowship and residency programs, fine art publishing, and exhibitions to engage the public and increase the appreciation and understanding of the printmaking arts. 

By supporting Highpoint, you can expand the opportunities for artists and learners.
