“The Incubator program gave me ground to start a project in the middle of the pandemic in a very uncertain time. I could not have done without it, because I had no money to pay for a studio to work. To be able to restart working in my artistic goals, gave me support and encouraged me to keep working and applying for more opportunities. I already had a work-in-progress showing and more opportunities coming my way because I have something solid, created during the residency. Thank you LEIMAY!” – Selma Trevino, Incubator Artist, 2022

“The Incubator program by LEIMAY was very special – the space is cozy and feels totally detached from the hectic NYC energy. The skylight connects us to the sense of time and I enjoyed being in the space in both darkness and light. I benefited from the fact that it was a process-based program, yet the organizers were very supportive in sharing our works-in-process and any showings we may have. Very grateful for the summer I spent there and hope to find myself in the space again soon!” – Yoko Murakami, Incubator Artist, 2021

“This intimate incubation space allowed me to explore the rawness of my imagination. The program welcomed and respected my process by giving me time to explore in depth.” – Dorchel Haqq, Incubator Artist, 2021

“I really appreciate LEIMAY’s dedication to reaching out and offering support with no strings attached. It was a surprising gift to know I would be able to take time for myself each week this fall to build on specific works and to expand into my practice in general. This small team was immensely helpful and thoughtful in what they offered and I am excited for more artists to have a chance at this program in the future.” – Incubator Artist, 2021
