David Lynch, who died in 2025, may be best known for his work in film (Blue Velvet, the Twin Peaks series and more). But Lynch was an artist in many mediums, including printmaking, on which he collaborated with UW-Madison’s Tandem Press for many years. This event offers a chance to see many of these prints up close, with a talk on Lynch’s work by Tandem Press Director Katie Geha and printmaker Jason Ruhl.
