Blue Star Contemporary
Southtown · San Antonio, Texas
Blue Star Contemporary is San Antonio's leading contemporary art center, presenting rotating exhibitions and maintaining artist studio residencies in the historic Blue Star Arts Complex - a converted warehouse complex in the city's creative Southtown neighborhood that has become one of San Antonio's most vibrant cultural destinations. Exhibitions range from emerging Texas artists to established national and international figures, united by a commitment to ambitious, intellectually serious contemporary practice. Blue Star's studio residency program, providing working space to a cohort of San Antonio-area artists, ensures that the center remains connected to the working creative community rather than existing as a purely institutional venue detached from the artists it serves.
