  • 2011 | Best Free Activity

    Four times a year the Highpoint Center for Printmaking opens its doors and invites visitors to create a piece of art to take home--for free. Each open-house event has a theme; past installments have focused on outer space, botany, and Dias de los Muertos art. Guests can choose to carve their own block for printing or to use one from the collection of blocks created by Highpoint artists. Free Ink days are for all ages, so it's a fun event that entertains artsy kids as well. More »

  • 2008 | BEST PLACE TO LEARN AN ART FORM

    As artistic hobbies go, printmaking has to be one of the hardest to take up. It's much easier to, say, buy a cheap canvas and some oil paints, and even creating a home darkroom is simpler than assembling your own lithographic presses, ferric etching tanks, and everything else you need for printmaking. That makes having a community center for the beautiful but often complex art form so crucial. Highpoint is a professional facility with the presses and printing equipment that serious artists...

    As artistic hobbies go, printmaking has to be one of the hardest to take up. It's much easier to, say, buy a cheap canvas and some oil paints, and even creating a home darkroom is simpler than assembling your own lithographic presses, ferric etching tanks, and everything else you need for printmaking. That makes having a community center for the beautiful but often complex art form so crucial. Highpoint is a professional facility with the presses and printing equipment that serious artists need to execute their ideas. But the center also emphasizes teaching the community about printmaking, with instruction on classic methods such as screen-printing, etching, and the cutting-edge technique of Solarplate. For those who want to try printmaking for the first time, Highpoint opens its doors for "Free Ink Days" several times a year—a wonderful opportunity for curious people, especially children, to explore printmaking without having to pay for materials or classes.

    I had an internship hear and its such a great place. I wish I could afford the co-op membership though. They have a gallery and educational classes. The staff is really dedicated to their art.
