From theaters to business hubs, sacred spaces to private clubs, sports complexes to engineering wonders, historical gems to not-even-open-yet buildings, Doors Open Minneapolis will give you a FREE behind-the-scenes look at dozens of exciting venues. Building owners and caretakers will provide unique perspectives that illustrate why these venues, people and businesses, are central to our city’s identity.” –Doors Open

Free Ink Day, Highpoint Classroom, drop-in 12 - 4 pm

Free Ink Days (family days) are free and engaging, printmaking fun for all! We’re celebrating the season with a printmaking activity inspired by spring gardens. Participants of all ages and experience levels are invited to create vibrant prints using the pochoir (stencil) technique. Using a variety of pre-cut stencils featuring flowers, leaves, and garden bugs, you’ll layer colorful shapes to build your own unique garden-themed artwork. All materials for the activity are non-toxic and supplied by Highpoint (while supplies last). No registration is necessary – just drop in, bring your creativity, and be ready to get inky! Staff and volunteers will be able to answer any questions along the way.

Parking: Enter by walking through HP’s Lake Street entrance or by the driveway off Colfax. Street parking is available, or visitors are encouraged to bike, walk, or take public transit. The event will take place in HP’s education classroom.

Gallery Hours:
Monday through Friday, 9–5 PM
Saturdays, 12–4 PM.
