our organization
San Diego Writers, Ink is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that offers classes, workshops, readings, and other literary events.
We hang our literary hats at Inspirations Gallery, a bright and creative space in ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station in Point Loma. Here, writers and artists and those who love literature gather for literary events and art exhibitions. We’re an enthusiastic collaborator with many artistic, cultural, and community organizations and join with others throughout the city and county in promoting literature and creating community.
Our Mission
San Diego Writers, Ink nurtures writers and fosters a literary community by:
- serving as a hub for the literary community,
- promoting literature,
- providing artistic development for writers at all levels, and
- facilitating artistic collaboration
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Statement
At SDWI, we aim to become more equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist. We strive to be a writing community for ALL writers, and to that end have created the following goals to help us become an even more diverse community.
-
We will recruit instructors and students of different abilities, ages, backgrounds, cultures, gender identities, and sexual orientations, including BIPOC and similarly marginalized communities.
-
We will provide board members and instructors opportunities to participate in equity and inclusion training and learning sessions throughout the year.
-
We will revisit SDWI’s scholarship program, in order to use these funds to better serve under-represented writing populations.
-
We will create programs that serve those in a greater geographic region, through library, non-profit, and community organization partnerships.
