From its beginning in 1986, Blue Star Contemporary has hosted a multitude of innovative exhibitions showcasing emerging and established San Antonio, National, and international contemporary artists. Below you can find an ever-growing collection of Blue Star Contemporary’s exhibition history. Our online archives currently only date back to 2007, but BSC staff is diligently working to catalog 30 years of physical archives to transfer here.
