Blue Star, Arts complex and cultural center in Southtown, San Antonio, United States.
Blue Star is an arts complex in the Southtown area of San Antonio spanning multiple buildings with galleries, artist studios, performance spaces, a craft beer brewery, and local businesses. The facility combines creative venues with dining and shopping destinations.
The site started as industrial buildings before transforming into San Antonio's first contemporary art center. This conversion sparked the growth of the surrounding neighborhood as an artist district.
The First Thursday gatherings here draw artists, collectors, and visitors who come to see new exhibitions and live performances throughout the complex. These events offer chances to talk with working artists and understand their creative practices directly.
Galleries operate daily from morning through evening, allowing you to drop by on your schedule to explore exhibitions. Dining and shopping options are available on-site, making it easy to spend a few hours or longer.
The venue hosts regular Astronomy on Tap events where scientists discuss space and stars with visitors over craft beer. This blend of learning and beer tasting creates something you won't find elsewhere.
