“Sharing new and highly vulnerable solo work during SOAK was affirming for me as a creator and community member. I felt supported by Ximena, Shige, and the entire LEIMAY Team. Post-show feedback from audience members and fellow artists was both insightful and essential to my creative process. I highly recommend SOAK for makers who want to take risks!”

– Lou (Lindsey) Mandolini, SOAK Artist, 2017
