About Tandem Press:  

Tandem Press is one of only three professional printmaking studios and press affiliated with a university in the United States. Tandem Press is a self-funded entity housed within the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As a printmaking studio, Tandem Press hosts internationally renowned artists (such as Derrick Adams, Suzanne Caporael, Jim Dine, Jeffrey Gibson, Sam Gilliam, David Lynch, Judy Pfaff, Alison Saar, Sean Scully, Mickalene Thomas, and many others) in their studio space, assisting them as they create fine art prints and produce editions of these artworks. As a gallery, Tandem Press represents, promotes, and sells the artworks created in their studio both locally through exhibitions in the Tandem Press Apex Gallery and nationally through participation in several art fairs (in Chicago, New York, Miami, San Antonio, San Francisco, and others) throughout the year. As a non-profit educational institution, Tandem Press partners with other departments at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to offer artist lectures, tours, printmaking workshops, and other special events to serve both the student and public community. Many graduate and undergraduate students from UW-Madison come to Tandem Press to work alongside the curators, the collaborative printers, and the visiting artists, experiencing a unique learning experience that is unmatched anywhere else. Prints created at Tandem Press are included in many prestigious collections throughout the United States and Europe, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and the British Museum, to name a few.
