Stand Up Prints

Stand Up Prints is an exhibition highlighting artists who are using printmaking to address social and political issues. The exhibition will feature contemporary examples of printmaking being used to promote racial and social justice in America.

Submitted work must contain some element of printmaking (screenprinting, lithography, intaglio, monotype, collograph, relief, stenciling, letterpress). Acceptable submissions include prints, posters, broadsides, zines, and printstallations. Artist collaborations are welcome. Work must have been completed since 2018. Three-dimensional work may be submitted. Prints must be unframed and will be displayed behind glass cut to the paper size (unless otherwise specified by the artist). Each artist may submit 1-2 images for consideration.

There is no entry fee to submit to this exhibition. Instead, Highpoint asks that applicants make a donation to a social justice organization of their own choosing (if they are able to do so).

All unsold work will be returned after the exhibition in its original packaging. Work will be insured the entire time it is on Highpoint's premises. Damages incurred in transit are the responsibility of the artist. Packing, shipping, and related costs are the responsibility of the artist.
