2025-2026 Jerome Early Career Printmakers

  • Highpoint Center for Printmaking (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Please join us in welcoming the 2025-2026 Jerome Early Career Printmakers Dalton Carlson, Edson Rosas, and Gabi Estrada!

Three artists are selected annually to participate in the Jerome Early Career Printmakers Residency at Highpoint. Thanks to the generous support of the Jerome Foundation, this program has existed since 2003 and has served more than 60 early career printmakers.

Beginning in September, the artists will have 12 months of access to the co-op studio to generate artowrk for their culminating exhibition, which will open in July 2026. In addition to studio access and their eventual exhibition, Dalton, Edson, and Gabi received a stipend for materials and will enjoy periodic studio visits with invited guests, along with learning and professional development opportunities.

The Jerome Residency program is open to early career Minnesota printmakers who already possess training in one or more traditional printmaking techniques. Early Career is defined here as an artist with a record of creating and exhibiting original work who has not received consistent development and production opportunities and significant recognition, awards, and acclaim regardless of age or recognition in other fields.

About the artists:

Edson Rosas (he/they) is a queer Mexican-American artist and educator based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is a printmaker, installation artist, soft sculpture maker, and casual writer. His autobiographical work is focused on exploring his Mexican roots through memory and how they play a role in his everyday life emotionally, physically, and politically. The work is often honest and open, making the personal become universal. 
Edson received his MFA in 2021 from Pacific Northwest College of Art and his BFA in 2019 from Minnesota State University, Mankato.

Dalton Carlson (he/him) is an interdisciplinary artist and educator working in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Carlson received his Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2024 and his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art from Colorado Mesa University in 2020. His work analyzes his role and how he interacts within larger societal systems. His work flows between 2D and 3D practices, often finding refuge in painting and printmaking. Carlson has recently shown in group shows in Buffalo, NY with shows at El Museo Gallery and CEPA Gallery and in Colorado at Mesa County Libraries and 437CO. He has presented solo exhibitions at the Triangle Gallery in Colorado, Western New York Book Arts Center in New York, and Fried Fruit Art Space in North Carolina. 

Gabi Estrada (they/them) is a Mexican-American printmaker and arts educator based in Minneapolis. Their practice is rooted in identity and storytelling, honoring their ancestors and elders. They believe in the power that art has to facilitate healing and community building, which they prioritize in their art and pedagogy.

Stay tuned for updates on the artists progress as they move through the Residency!

Special thanks to our esteemed panelists Emily Marsolek and Isa Gagarin for their careful review of the outstanding applicants.

In 2026, her work will be included in the group exhibition Imagining an Archipelago, curated by Jessamine Batario, which will take place at the Colby Museum of Art (Waterville, ME). Gagarin was born in Guam and was raised throughout the US including Hawai’i. Gagarin received an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University (2018), and earned her BFA in Painting from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (2008).

“Flow is a state of being associated with creativity and enhanced performance,” explains Klare Scarborough, Ph.D., a curator, educator, author, and arts administrator who contributed to the exhibition catalog’s essay. “Flow enters the creative process in moments when action and awareness merge, when artists become completely absorbed in their tasks, and their sense of time slips away. Working within a turbulent political and social climate, including a global pandemic, these artists actively sought opportunities to expand their artistic practices through experimentation, learning, and collaboration.”

Abstraction is currently understood to involve the translation of lived experience through embodied practices. The artists featured in Flowing Abstraction, while sharing African Diasporic heritage, represent a range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and they are diverse in their artistic interests and goals. Their influences include music, dance, literature, philosophy, architecture, history, politics, current events, social injustices, personal stories, ancestral heritage, and the environment. They work primarily in artistic mediums other than printmaking, such as painting, sculpture, collage, photography, performance, and installation. While their artworks presented in Flowing Abstraction are considered non-representational, they emerge as passionate responses to their phenomenological experiences of the world.


Curator: Flowing Abstraction: Contemporary African Diaspora Printmaking was organized by Brandywine Workshop and Archives with assistance from Klare Scarborough, PhD.

The event is FREE to the public, but we ask that you RSVP here

The exhibition features an array of vibrant and experimental prints by fifteen artists, including Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Ellen Berkenblit, Jennifer Mack-Watkins, Nicole Eisenman, Sam Messer, and others. Join us for a public opening reception on Friday, March 31st, 7 - 9 PM. Artwork will be on display through May 6th, 2023.

The artists have collaborated throughout Jungle Press’ history with Director and Master Printer, Andrew Mockler, to create new work utilizing their themes and mark making styles, transformed into print medium. This exhibition showcases the breadth of work created at Jungle Press Editions and the diverse and bold styles of printmaking by the artists.

“A major part of Highpoint’s founding mission is to increase the appreciation and understanding of the printmaking arts and to expand access to the many contemporary voices and perspectives it serves. Over the years, Highpoint has partnered with international printmaking studios from Japan, Cuba, Pakistan, South Africa, Northern Ireland, the Arctic Circle, among others to bring exhibitions to Highpoint’s galleries to share with Minnesota audiences. Highpoint has also been proud to feature quite a few printshops from Canada, Mexico, and the US whose work helps connect us with current artwork coming out of communities closer to home. These partnerships introduce new artists to Minnesota, elevate the artists’ work and help advance their perspectives - which is foundational to the notion of prints as vehicles for communicating images and ideas. This spring, we are thrilled to recognize the work being created at Jungle Press, and HP looks forward to presenting this exciting art in our galleries.”  – Highpoint Artistic Director and Master Printer, Cole Rogers

QUE CONSTE / FOR THE RECORD, presented by POCOAPOCO

POCOAPOCO is pleased to present works by eight Oaxacan multidisciplinary artists whose varying mediums and perspectives demonstrate the critical and widespread presence of printmaking in Oaxaca.  Utilizing print as an opportunity to unite their practice and voice, the artists in this exhibition connect around a shared desire to critique and communicate the rapid transformations of their territory, city, and home. Que Conste / For the Record challenges the limits of the medium stemming from possibilities provided by language, playing with the translation and definitions of print from English (printmaking - an artistic process) to Spanish (grabado - recorded or engraved).  Based in Oaxaca’s comprehensive, historical and often quite fluid relationship to the discipline, this exhibition allows artists and viewers alike to reexamine their relationship to the practice of printmaking, in which grabado es un punto de encuentro (a meeting point), un recurso (a resource), una forma de repetición (a form of repetition) una comunidad (a community) la tradición (the tradition), una registro (a recording) un punto de acceso (an access point) una traducción (a translation) una lengua en común (a common language) y una voz compartida (and a shared voice).

Join us for the opening reception!

This exhibition features work by the following artists:

Ana Hernández
Ana Hernández is a visual artist from the Isthmus region of Oaxaca. Her work reflects the knowledge inherited from the women in her family and her community and uses traditional techniques such as weaving and embroidery to discuss issues that have been present throughout the artist’s life such as migration, the loss of native languages, and the passing down of traditional knowledge from generation to generation. By using materials such as gold leaf, natural fibers and clay, Hernández expands the plastic and discursive possibilities of the popular trades of her land that have fallen into disuse. @hernandez.ana.hernandez

Adriana Monterrubio
Adriana Monterrubio is a textile artist whose practice focuses on working with leather, natural fibers and natural dyes as her main creative medium. Her process emulates the physicality of the material. She works with her body, her hands and her mind to transform the material into shapes and objects inspired by memory. Her sculptures seek to connect intimately with the space and the viewer by creating a personal language through which she evokes memories of her hometown. Monterrubio has participated in group exhibitions in museums around Mexico and her work is part of the collection of the Textile Museum in Oaxaca. @adriana.monterrubio

Evelyn Méndez Maldonado
Evelyn Méndez Maldonado is a dancer, performer, cultural manager, and producer from Oaxaca City. She has traveled the path of interpretation, creation and collaboration in contemporary dance and performance since 2009. Without institutional training, Oaxaca has been her school. Movement exploration in-situ is one of her deepest interests, same as collaborating with artists from all different disciplines open to establishing a dialogue with movement. She produces and directs the performing arts biennial Casa Abierta. @evelyn_m_maldonado

José Ángel Santiago
José Ángel Santiago is a Oaxacan artist originally from the Isthmus, pushes and questions the limits between drawing and painting. His interest in astronomy is predominant in his work, particularly in drawing, as well as his intimate relationship to land, nature, and the endemic animals of the Isthmus. In addition to paper and canvas, José Ángel uses wood panels, fresco, and ceramics to create pieces that address issues of identity, memory, and belonging through the use of symbols and characters in his work. He also reflects on the role of the native languages and local traditions as an element of identity within a society crossed by global issues. @joseangelsantiago

Martha Alicia Jiménez Sánchez
Martha Alicia Jiménez Sánchez is a ceramic artist working with sculpture, installation, and ritual practice. In her work she reflects on language, healing, beauty, brokenness and repair. Through clay and movement, she seeks to reconnect with her body as a woman and as a mother. She works with local clay that she and her son collect on a sacred site in Santa Cruz Papalutla, the town where they live. She hand-builds all her pieces and fires them using a traditional local method of low temperature firing. Her work has been exhibited in Oaxaca, Mexico City, New York, and San Francisco. @mujer_barro

Marco Antonio Velasco Martínez
Marco Antonio Velasco Martínez (artist-in-residence) is an artist, printmaker and educator. Born and raised in Oaxaca, he is the co-founder of Espacio Pino Suárez, a printmaking workshop and space for visual arts and is a member of Estudios Benito Juárez, a group investigating and discussing contemporary art in Oaxaca. He is interested in understanding and expanding the concept of drawing as an exercise in observation, recognition, memory, writing and as an object, working with issues such as violence, the political and the personal, collective creation and his relationship with everyday objects. Marco studied design, drawing and graphics at the Mesoamerican University, at the Centro de Artes de San Agustín Etla, Oaxaca and at the Faculty of Arts and Design at UNAM. His work has been exhibited in Mexico, Austria, Italy and the United States. @marco_velascomartinez

Santiago Rojo
Through sculpture, drawing, and photography, Santiago's work addresses the ways in which art can detonate knowledge about issues related to urban space and its transformations. Through field exploration and observation of the landscape, he generates pieces of subjective interpretation that highlight the changes in the economic, social, and political processes of a place. His work has been exhibited in different spaces in Mexico and in countries such as Brazil, Ecuador, the United States, Lebanon and Venezuela. It is part of the collection of the Museum of Philately of the city of Oaxaca (MUFI), the FEMSA collection and the Toledo / INBA collection. @santiago_rojog

Yatiní Domínguez
Yatiní Domínguez (artist-in-residence) is a visual and performing artist originally from Oaxaca de Juárez. She is co-founder of “Ojo Tres” a workshop creating ties between artists through graphic, photographic and editorial production. Ojo Tres is a member of MUTACIONES editorial -- a platform for creation and dissemination of the work of women artists. She collaborates in various multidisciplinary projects mixing illustration, graphics, audiovisual and dance. Her work investigates memory and boundary, exploring the relationship between image and movement and our human footprint, the way we move and the traces we leave. @yati_nii

Pocoapoco is an arts and cultural organization approaching creative practice as a means to further exploration, opportunity, and connection between individuals, cultures, and communities.  Based in Oaxaca, our residency and programs bring together local and international artists and creative thinkers across all fields, offering a platform for fundamental reflection, creation, and dialogue.  pocoapocomx.com
