Blue Star Art Complex

The Blue Star Art Complex is a refurbished industrial complex that now houses boutiques, drinks and the arts. This formerly unused industrial space rejuvenated not only the building, but the community and all its visitors as well. Off the San Antonio River Walk, it is part journey and part destination as it marks the beginning of a great 7-mile loop that’s popular with runners and cyclists.
