Each year, three artists are selected to participate in the Jerome Emerging Printmakers Residency at Highpoint, the premier community-access printmaking workshop in the Upper Midwest. The 10,000 square-foot, ADA compliant center is fully equipped to support intaglio, relief, lithography, and screenprinting.Thanks to the generous support of the Jerome Foundation, this program has existed since 2003 and has served more than 40 emerging printmakers. The residency begins in September and ends with a culminating exhibition in May.

ELIGIBILITY:
The Jerome Residency program is open to emerging Minnesota printmakers who already possess training in traditional printmaking techniques, and can provide original examples of such work. An “emerging” artist is generally defined as an artist who shows significant potential, yet has not received a commensurate amount of professional accomplishment and recognition regardless of age or recognition in other fields. Highpoint and the Jerome Foundation reserve the right to review and determine applicant status as emerging.

Applicants will be judged on the artistic merit of their work, their dedication, interest, and potential in printmaking, as well as the quality and clarity of their plan for the residency. To be eligible, artists must illustrate proficiency in at least one traditional printmaking technique (intaglio, lithography, screenprinting, monoprinting, or relief). Residents will be expected to observe Highpoint’s studio policies, guidelines, and etiquette as well as the conditions outlined in the Jerome Resident Contract. Artists are also expected to give a brief gallery talk during their exhibition. Priority will be given to artists who have had little or no opportunity to work in a professional, non-academic printshop environment. Artists may not be a student during the residency period (September 2019 – May 2020). Minnesota residency must be maintained during the entire program. In addition, applicants must have resided in MN continuously since September 1, 2018 or earlier. Highpoint Center for Printmaking provides equal opportunity to all individuals regardless of race, national origin, color, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. Artists of color are strongly encouraged to apply.

A panel of professionals including artists, curators, and arts administrators will review all submitted materials and select three artists to be residents.
