We’re looking for an artist or duo (team of two people) who thrive in the in-between—where differences meet, spark, and grow into something new.

For example (but not limited to):

– A multi-sensory artist exploring sight, sound, and touch

– A filmmaker, poet, or storyteller blending folklore, movement, and media

– An experimental musician building DIY instruments or new sound tools

– An artist turning science or data into visual, interactive, or living works

– A painter, sculptor, or dancer curious about using tech in your practice

– A journalist or activist developing creative, civic-minded media

To apply, please email ry@pspny.com (cc leo@pspny.com) with the following:

(a) A brief introduction of yourself/ your team

(b) A link to your website or online portfolio so we can get to know your work

(c) A short description of the kind of art you’d like to create at MACRE during your incubator program, and the type of workshop you’d like to lead.

We welcome both detailed proposals and more open-ended/ improvisational ideas. Artists are encouraged to develop new and emerging work while engaging with the MACRE space and community. Applications are reviewed by our three volunteer jurors, who thoughtfully consider each applicant’s fit with MACRE’s mission and collaborative environment.
