🔈 IMPORTANT NOTICE 🔈

September’s First Friday has been cancelled. Our complex is following the orders of TX Governor Abbott – to not have gatherings over 100 people. Please check our social media and website for updated business hours. While we aren’t hosting our traditional First Friday, the complex is open according to the guidelines set by the City of San Antonio. We will continuously update, as changes occur.

Over the last 24 years Blue Star Arts Complex has become a place for San Antonio to gather. We come here to share a table over great food, to learn new things, to wander on the River, meet friends in the park, and to celebrate special traditions. Over the course of the extraordinary last few months, we—like neighborhoods across Southtown—have re-evaluated so many aspects of our lives and made dramatic adjustments in service to the health and wellbeing of our community.

And now we face another challenge: beginning the delicate process of reopening while balancing the
safety and health of our employees, visitors, and residents at Blue Star. This process will be imperfect because there is no precedent for where we are.

But we commit the following to you:

• We will be transparent
• We will listen to our community at large and our subject matter experts leading the way in response and reopening
• We will work in concert with our partners here at Blue Star and with leadership at the City of San Antonio and in compliance with the State’s Executive orders
• We will seek best practices from communities around the world
As we navigate this new reality, we seek our community’s partnership. Blue Star supports all its partners and the decisions they make on when and how to reopen their businesses.

To ensure that our community remains as safe as possible, the following pledge is in place:
