“I love Gemini Ink because they embody their mission and lead by example. Many organizations employ flowery rhetoric to gain access to and the support of the people, but they are not for the people. I love Gemini Ink because they ARE the people!”

Our Mission

Gemini Ink teaches the craft of writing to people of every skill level—online and in person—so they can bring their stories to life. As San Antonio’s writing arts center, we build a supportive home for readers and writers and open doors through scholarships and free programs. By 2026, we aim to empower 15,000 people to tell their stories.

We serve about 4,500 people each year; 83% attend free of charge and 67% are people of color. In a city that’s 63% Latino with 25% of households under federal poverty, access matters. For 28 years, we’ve expanded access to the writing arts, grown literacy, and sparked joy in reading and writing.
