It's not that the people at Tandem Press mind sharing space with Wisconsin's state car fleet facility. Rather, being off campus makes Tandem Press' mission of bringing artists, master printers and UW-Madison students, faculty and staff together more of a challenge.
According to East Campus Gateway plans, Tandem Press will be able to leave the fleet behind and take up residence in state-of-the-art space just east of the Kohl Center. This new home, located on the ground floor, will make it possible for people to view in person many of the prints this nationally known fine arts press has to offer.
“It has always been the dream of Tandem Press to move to campus, since we are currently three miles away,” said Paula McCarthy Panczenko, executive director. “To be on campus will enable us to increase our visibility to the University community, visiting alumni and the Madison community at large.”
