About Highpoint Editions
Highpoint Center for Printmaking was established in 2001 and is the only community-oriented facility of its kind in the Upper Midwest. Until Highpoint opened its doors, broad public access to the printmaking arts was virtually nonexistent in this part of the country. The publishing arm, Highpoint Editions, produces fine art prints made by invited professional artists in collaboration with master printer Cole Rogers and Highpoint Editions staff. Highpoint advances the work of artists by presenting their projects to a broad public through gallery shows, lectures, and symposia and by placing Highpoint prints in important public and private collections around the
world. Prints created at Highpoint Editions can be found in numerous public, corporate, and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Centre Pompidou.
