HOT OFF THE PRESSES

Opening today: Besides producing prints for visiting artists from New York and elsewhere, Highpoint offers its professional facilities to a cooperative of Twin Cities artists who produce original screenprints, etchings, woodcuts, monoprints and other forms. Their styles range from abstract to hyper-realist and their subject matter from landscapes to the pensive social satire shown here. Called "Inheriting the Earth," this clever and mournful lithograph by Emmy Lingscheit recalls the devastating floods that have taken such a toll on the cities and countryside in recent years. Note the praying hands in place of the deer's antlers. (Free opening reception 6:30-9 p.m. today. Highpoint Center for Printmaking, 2638 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls. Ends Aug. 30, free. 612-871-1326 or www.highpoint printmaking.org)
