Access/Print is a free mentorship program at Highpoint Center for Printmaking for 6-10 outstanding teen artists each school year. Each teen receives over 70 hours of studio access and instruction in the printmaking arts to create a body of work. Despite the pandemic, each student completed their final project and Highpoint is hosting their show on the website.
Highpoint Center for Printmaking is pleased to present Hot Off the Press, an exhibition of prints by members of its artists’ studio cooperative. This summer’s show features the work of 39 printmakers currently working in Highpoint’s facilities. More than 80 pieces were selected by the co-op’s curatorial committee for exhibition. Printmaking methods represented include lithography, relief, intaglio, screenprinting, monotype, and polymergravure. The prints will be on view and available for purchase July 19 - August 31, 2019.
