Quotes

"The entertainment industry is one of the most competitive, and rewarding for an artist. In that environment, learning from masters such as Roger the proper classical knowledge, is what makes the difference between amateurism and professionalism. Gemini has the ability to carry artists that have a talent, and launch them into the professional world. Few places can offer so many years of experience, especially in such a great place as Austin."

“I just wanted to send you and the rest of the staff at Gemini a thank you for inviting me to your incredible school and letting me talk about animation to your students.

I have just been gushing to everyone I see about how incredible your school is and how completely blown away I was with the talent and quality of the work your students are producing. You may find me popping in from time to time just to get inspired by your students and work as a means of recharging my creative cells!”

"The The Austin Chamber of Commerce is now five years into an economic development program that includes a digital media recruitment initiative to bring new film, music, gaming and interactive companies to Central Texas.  The Austin region is already a digital media powerhouse, which can be attributed to incredibly creative and progressive educational, cultural and business environments.

Part of Austin’s attractiveness to existing companies and anyone considering relocation to Austin is the quality of education that feeds our arts, entertainment and media industries.  It is institutions like the Gemini School for Visual Arts that create the world class fine arts and digital media workforce pipelines on which our local companies rely.  The Chamber of Commerce works with gaming, art, design & development studios and is always proud to introduce them to Cynthia McGrail and the incredible instructional team at Gemini.  The dedicated leaders at Gemini are creating the professional artists and visionaries of our future creative class."
