Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Continue to expand opportunities for artists (including BIPOC artists) to learn printmaking, grow artistic skills, exhibit and sell work. Success measured by: artists receive free (or reduced cost) support to learn/deepen skills in the art of printmaking; HP expands award opportunities for BIPOC/challenged artists; more artists exhibit and sell their work. 2: Identify and hire a new Executive Director for Highpoint Center for Printmaking. Highpoint's Board/search committee with support of an Executive Search firm will successfully identify and hire a new Executive Director for HP by Summer 2022.

Measurable Outcome(s)

BIPOC artists received scholarships and facility access to grow artistically, create and sell work, teach, and engage in the printmaking arts. Highpoint worked with a BIPOC Steering Committee to design and evaluate programs. BIPOC artists received support and access to learn and deepen skills in printmaking and completed participant surveys to share their experience and growth. 2: Highpoint hired Executive Director Jehra Patrick, a strong leader to build on HP's organizational programs, foundation, and legacy. Highpoint worked with Executive Search firm to identify the new Executive Director, Jehra Patrick, who has worked to evaluate staff needs/capacity, strengthened partnerships, and develop a new strategic plan based on community and programming needs.
