Located at 1400 South Alamo, across from the Pioneer Flour Mill at Probandt Street, the Blue Star Arts Complex borders the San Antonio River on the Southern edge of the central business district. The six-acre Complex sits on the site of the former downtown warehouse terminal of the MKT (Katy) Railroad. The Blue Star Arts Complex is an innovative adaptation of historic warehouse buildings into an arts-oriented, mixed-use development, including affordable loft/studio apartments, galleries, retail, performance spaces, and artists’ work spaces. Several nonprofit arts organizations anchor the Complex and include the Blue Star Art Space (210-227-6960), an artist-run, non-collecting, contemporary art museum and Jump-Start Performance Co. (210-227-JUMP), a presenting and producing performance collective dedicated to the exploration of alternative viewpoints. The Complex also includes an art program with close ties to the King William Association and its members, SAY SÍ ! or San Antonio Youth Yes! (210-226-4195), an art program for high school students designed to promote creative object-making while providing commerce education to inner city youth. |
