Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum

Description

• Blue Star Contemporary is the first and longest-running venue for contemporary art in San Antonio. Developed from a grassroots event in July of 1986, Blue Star arose from the need to provide a platform for the work and ideas of local contemporary artists. In the years since its inception, Blue Star has grown with the community, instigating positive change in both the art community and the community at large. Blue Star's mission, to inspire the creative genius in us all by nurturing artists in an innovative contemporary art museum, informs our exhibitions, programs, and events. The development of Blue Star's exhibitions and educational programming has resulted in the social and economic revitalization of the surrounding King William and South Town neighborhoods, and the event that started it all in the summer of 1986, has developed into Contemporary Art Month, an event that now includes over fifty collaborating organizations, cultural centers, museums, and alternative spaces.Now approaching its 30th anniversary, Blue Star continues to be an incubator for contemporary art in San Antonio, hosting over twenty exhibitions each year within its four on-site galleries and satellite locations within the community. These exhibitions feature both emerging and world-renowned artists who hail both from the Alamo City and across the globe. Over 300,000 visitors each year experience contemporary art at Blue Star through exhibitions, our MOSAIC youth development program, and community events. The great support of our community allows Blue Star to continue to inspire, nurture, and innovate through contemporary art.
