MACRE Ithaca is proud to present Call + Response led by MACRE artist-in-incubator Jennilie Brewster. Opening on Gallery Night, September 5, the group exhibition unfolds as a creative chain reaction—with each artist contributing work in response to the other work in the space.

Drawing from both the musical tradition and the logic of engineering systems, the show embraces a call-and-response dynamic in which signals, creativity, and visions pass through MACRE members like electricity through a circuit. In a time shaped by social fragmentation, climate crises, and wars, what does it mean for us to listen to others—and to answer them?

Participating artists include Leo Kang, Daniel Rotsztain, Tia Eytina, Norm Scott, Skeleton Hands, Ry Ferro, and Jennilie Brewster. Works on view range from painting and projection to audio installation. Opening night will also feature live performances by McKenzie Jones and Bronwen Exter. This event is made possible through the generous support of the Ithaca ReUse Center and PhotoSynthesis Productions, whose commitments to sustainability and creative community resonate deeply with the spirit of the exhibition.

Our Artist-In-Incubator program isn’t just about making art — it’s about growing together. We welcome emerging artists with kind hearts and strong creative spirits who may lack access to space, resources, or support. This is a place to take root, take care, and create something that truly matters for our community.
