Blue Star Contemporary Art Center, San Antonio, Texas, United States of America

Blue Star Contemporary Art Center is the first non-profit institution established for modern art in San Antonio, Texas. It is also the longest-operating contemporary art space in the city as it was built in 1986 by a group of artists. Located in the Blue Star Arts Complex, the art center or BSC provides several programs, with two of these involving lessons for inspiring artists as well as for students who would like to learn about art. Other than that, BSC has been teaming up with other organizations for various off-site art exhibitions.

In addition to collaborations and off-site showcases, BSC has also accomplished nine public projects thanks to its creative MOSAIC students. From the art space, several attractions are within easy reach, like the Belmeade Park and the Buckhorn Saloon and Museum.
