“SOAK provides a vital resource to young artists attempting to grow their body of work and hone their craft. Presenting in SOAK offers you both an opportunity to stage and perform work, but also a supportive community that welcomes artistic exploration, success, and failure of all kind, which is perhaps the most important thing for young artists learning their craft and finding their voice.”

– Drew Weinstein, SOAK Artist and LEIMAY Fellow 2017-2018, 2018
