Sale of qual­ity work, from 46 juried artists who cre­ate fine crafts and fine arts includ­ing bas­ketry, clay, fiber, glass, leather, jew­elry, paint­ings, paper, wood, and mixed media. Every­thing from leather hand­bags and belts; pho­tog­ra­phy; draw­ings, prints, and water­color paint­ings; pewter, cloi­sonné as well as gold, sil­ver, stone, and beaded jew­elry; bas­kets; dolls and pup­pets; hand-dyed silk apparel, purses, and hand-painted cloth­ing; home fur­nish­ings; fused and stained glass; orig­i­nal cards and jour­nals; turned wood bowls; plus porce­lain and pot­tery bowls, teapots and cups, tiles, vases, and sculptures.

Included at Art at High­land is the Youth Art Fair ‚made up of local young artists, ages 10–18, who sell their cre­ative work, includ­ing draw­ings, col­lages, origami, glass and beaded jew­elry, hand-made cards, and bottle-cap jew­elry. Stu­dent groups, such as girls’ gym­nas­tics, also raise money for their programs.

This tenth annual show pro­motes the artists, the stu­dents, and the community.

Art at High­land high­lights the artists and pro­vides them with a well-known com­mu­nity facil­ity (the ten-year-old field house) in which to mar­ket their orig­i­nal art works.

Art at High­land gives local St. Paul-ites, as well as all metro-area art lovers, an oppor­tu­nity to meet and to pur­chase from local artists. Artists at this show are part of the increas­ingly pop­u­lar Buy Local move­ment. Art at High­land also show­cases the High­land Park com­mu­nity and its schools to the entire metro area.

Accord­ing to Tav Buech­ler, the Com­mu­nity Edu­ca­tion Coor­di­na­tor for Highland/ Macalester/ Grov­e­land, “In its tenth year, Art at High­land is a great oppor­tu­nity for artists who cre­ate fine crafts and fine arts to come together with the High­land Park schools to pro­mote arts to the whole com­mu­nity. The juried artists and youth artists, our schools and stu­dents, and the neigh­bor­hood all gain in this part­ner­ship. I am really proud of this Saint Paul Pub­lic Schools Com­mu­nity Edu­ca­tion event. Art at High­land is a great way for so many parts of our com­mu­nity to inter­act. Com­mu­nity Ed’s part­ner­ship with Artists’ Cir­cle, a local edu­ca­tional advo­cacy group for fine crafts, makes this a highly suc­cess­ful com­mu­nity event.”
