CREATE
AMONG like-minded artists
We're a nonprofit in San Antonio that can guarantee we'll never use AI, and we'll never support the use of AI. We're punk, we're queer, we're neurodivergent, we're alternative - So, have no fear. Everyone is welcome here.
Use our creativespace supplies, equipment, and space for only $15 a day, and take home a piece of art you made yourself. Enjoy our retro games and boardgames with friends in-between projects, help yourself to our snacks and drinks, chill out to our awesome playlist of chill music, or find some inspiration by browsing our selection of comics & merch by exclusively local/independent artists.
LEARN
WHAT ART SCHOOLS WON'T TEACH YOU
One of our goals is to uplift artists often overlooked by traditional establishments; The comic artists, digital artists, animators, the cosplay-makers, upcyclers, etc etc etc. We want to not only create a third space for the artists that currently only have online communities, but also offer learning opportunities.
The best part? You won't have to pay 5k per class here (and our teachers still get paid well)... And, again, we can guarantee you we'll never, ever accept the use of AI anywhere in our business.
Check out our current classes, or if you're looking for something with less commitment, check out our upcoming workshops.
SUPPORT
LOCAL & INDEPENDENT ART
ONLY
indie comics
For your reading pleasure.
Our selection of comics is sourced from exclusively independent artists - Some local, some not, but all indie. Check out new arrivals and featured comics here.
Want to submit your own comic to be sold here?
If you're local, just walk on in with a few copies of your work! If not, fill out this form, and we'll get back to you.
JOIN
A COMMUNITY BY ARTISTS, FOR ARTISTS
We're building a new third space for artists, and we want you to be a part of it.
inspiration on
every wall
It's a place made by artists...
And you can tell.
When we were building this space from the ground up, our goal was to create somewhere for artists where everywhere you looked was something to be inspired by... And I think we've achieved that goal.
From murals to comics to paintings to action figures - There's something for everyone here.
And, last but not least...
SWOON
OVER THE GAMBIT SHRINE
Yes, it's real. Yes, you can look at it (and take pictures of it, or with it). Yes, you can donate to it. No, we aren't all Gambit fans here... That's just Erik (and Laurie, sorta). We're all becoming X-Men fans by proxy, though.
Yes, we have merch inspired by the mutant superheroes (that shall not be named for copyright reasons), such as track jackets, hoodies, bags, and more - Available to purchase in-store or at Laguna Studios.
And yeah, that includes merch of the Kinetic Gambler (wink wink) himself.
