West @ Tandem Press\nIn Tandem brings together the sculptures of Christina A. West and the photogr avures of David Lynch in a dialogue that explores the human figure as a si te of psychological tension\, desire\, and uncanny transformation. \nWhile Lynch’s dreamlike images\, published by Tandem Press in 2021\, center a nd render surreal the female form\, West’s clay sculptures of the male n ude play with Classical art historical conventions\, introducing a wry hum or into considerations of embodiment and the act of looking. Across sculpt ure and print\, both artists blur the boundaries between beauty and unease \, intimacy and estrangement\, creating works that are at once materially grounded and psychologically charged. Together\, they offer the body as an object to be looked at and as a corporeal presence\, a form once familiar made strange. \nReception: Thursday\, September 17\, 2026: 6–9pm \nTand em’s ground floor gallery and printmaking studio are wheelchair accessib le.

These programs help neighbors enrich their lives thr ough pursuit of new skills and interests\, as well as form connections wit h the neighborhood. Our goal with all of our programming is to strengthen community ties and civic engagement while also nurturing resilience within each individual. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Badger Rock Neighborhood Center \n \n The Badger Rock Neighborhood Center hosts community events\, w orkshops\, a free monthly dinner and seasonal market\, and provides a spac e for the community to gather for meetings or programs. The Badger Rock Ne ighborhood Center is co-located with Badger Rock Middle School and Lori Ma nn Carey Elementary School (formerly Southside). Rooted partners with Badg er Rock Middle School to offer a weekly culinary arts and gardening class\ , an after-school cooking club\, a Saturday School program\, and a Social Entrepreneurship Class in partnership with CEOs of Tomorrow. Rooted also o ffers our Rooted in Culture Gardening and Cooking Class with Lori Mann Ca rey Elementary weekly during the school year and three times a week during the summer.  Badger Rock Neighborhood Center offers a bi-weekly food pan try for over 100 families in partnership with Badger Rock Middle School an d Second Harvest Food Bank.  Badger Rock is also home to the Badger Rock Community Gardens and Badger Rock Urban Farm green spaces\, which have be come a cornerstone for neighborhood connection and self-reliance. These ga rdens exist because Rimrock and Southside community residents advocated fo r and supported the creation of a safe\, vibrant place where they and thei r families could grow food\, share knowledge\, and build community togethe r. Today these gardens remain a living symbol of that vision\, offering a place where neighbors of all ages can learn\, work the soil\, and enjoy th e fruits of their labor side by side. Badger Rock is the primary site for our Rooted in Urban Agriculture Youth Employees\, who are involved with al l aspects of running the Urban Farm\, assist with youth programming\, staf f community events\, and undertake a variety of hands-on projects.

In 2012 we opened the RRC\, which was home to Badger Rock Neighborhood Center \, Badger Rock Middle School (a public\, instrumentality charter school pr imarily serving children from the surrounding severely economically distre ssed neighborhood)\, and the urban farm operations\, led by Growing Power Madison at the time. \nSince that time the Badger Rock Neighborhood Center has been a community hub and urban agriculture space for people of all ag es. With year-round programming focused on community leadership and voice\ , neighbors and other community members can gather\, participate\, build c onnections\, share their talents and find culturally relevant offerings.  \nThe Badger Rock Neighborhood Center has had to evolve during the Center for Resilient Cities merger with Community Groundworks to form Rooted\, t he Covid pandemic\, and the construction of Lori Mann Carey Elementary and remodeling of the neighborhood center space. Throughout that time\, Roote d staff has listened\, learned and evolved with the needs of the community and adjusted neighborhood center offerings to meet those needs. This miss ion of community-led programming continues as neighborhood needs shift\, c hange and grow.
