Join Tandem Press at Lola’s from 4-7 for a special happy hour celebrating the art of Derrick Adams. At 6pm, Derrick Adams will be in dialogue with UW-Madison Printmaking Professor, Associate Dean of the Arts, and Chazen Family Distinguished Chair in Art, Faisal Abdu’Allah for Needle & Thread: Vinyl Records in Artistic Practice. Shaped around a curated selection of tracks, this conversation will explore how music influences identity, emotion, and memory. Together, the artists will interweave personal histories and broader cultural narratives, creating a vibrant tapestry of sound and storytelling that connects art to the shared rhythms of life.

At 7pm, we’ll move the party across the street to Tandem Press, at 1743 Commercial Avenue, for the free public opening reception for Silver Lining: The Prints of Derrick Adams, an exhibition of prints Adams created in the studio at Tandem Press.

All ticket proceeds will support the publication of a forthcoming book celebrating Derrick Adams’ printmaking practice.
