Blue Start Contemporary was founded by artists and grown from a grassroots art exhibition in 1986, Blue Star Contemporary is the first and longest-running nonprofit space for contemporary art in San Antonio. BSC’s programs have grown, activating positive change in the art community and community-at-large. Blue Star presents an international array of artists, giving them the opportunity to create new work in its spacious, flexible galleries. In an effort to promote greater awareness among its constituents, curatorial preference is given to artists and projects that encourage empathy and inspire compassion.

The Regional Re-granting Program is established to recognize and support the movement of independently organized, public-facing, artist-centered activity that animates local and regional art scenes but that lies beyond the reach of traditional funding sources.
