Access/Print & Look/See 2017

This exhibition will showcase artwork created by teen artists who participated in our Access/Print program, as well as prints created by K-12 students who visited Highpoint in 2016 and 2017. The public is invited to a free opening reception on Saturday, April 8 from 4:30 – 7:30 pm. NEW this year, Access/Print teens will lead a FREE, hands-on screenprinting activity during the opening. All are welcome to try their hand at pulling a screenprint!

Access/Print is a free mentorship program that hosts 8-10 outstanding teen artists each school year. Teens receive over 70 hours of studio access and instruction in the printmaking arts to create a body of print work, which is exhibited in Highpoint’s galleries upon the conclusion of the program. Fall 2016 artists: Allison Baxter, Sinclair Myhre, Leah Peterson, and Pa Zong Vang. Spring 2017 artists: Summer Bordon, Sarah Gallagher, Henry Louris, Alice McGee, and Fiona McKenna.

The Look/See portion of the exhibition features relief, drypoint, monotype, and screenprints made by Highpoint’s school aged visitors during 2016-2017. Highpoint is proud to showcase their work in our annual student exhibition. Participating schools include: Columbia Heights High School, Folwell Performing Arts Magnet, Green Central Elementary, Lyndale Community School, Mankato East High School, Orono High School, Sheridan Elementary, Southside Family Charter School, and Wellstone International High School.
