mcknight printmaking fellowship at highpoint

Founded on the belief that Minnesota thrives when its artists and culture bearers thrive, the McKnight Foundation’s arts and culture program is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in the country. Support for individual working Minnesota artists and culture bearers has been a cornerstone of the program since it began in 1982. The McKnight Artist & Culture Bearer Fellowships Program provides annual, unrestricted cash awards to outstanding mid-career Minnesota artists in 15 different creative disciplines. Program partner organizations administer the fellowships and structure them to respond to the unique challenges of different disciplines. Currently, the foundation contributes about $2.8 million per year to its statewide fellowships.

The intent of the McKnight Printmaking Fellowship is to recognize and support artists living and working in Minnesota who are considered beyond emerging status and can demonstrate a sustained level of accomplishment, commitment, and artistic excellence in the field of printmaking.
