Endowment Fund
It’s an exciting time at the Contemporary at Blue Star as we launch our endowment fund, “Always Contemporary”.
What started as a grassroots, artist-led movement in 1986 has blossomed into the heart of San Antonio’s vibrant arts community. With a robust calendar of exhibitions, dynamic public programs, stimulating public art, nurturing creative youth development programs, and transformative professional development opportunities, we focus on artists and ensuring an innovative, inclusive community.
These initiatives warp and weft to provide integrated, interactive, and comprehensive arts experiences for our audiences of students, artists, educators, patrons, and visitors. Now, the Contemporary is launching its first-ever endowment fund, and we need your investment.
For more information on how your major gift or legacy bequest will benefit San Antonio’s arts community, please contact Elaine Leahy, BSC’s Development Manager, at elaine@contemporarysa.org or (210) 227-6960.
Together, we will sustain and grow the Contemporary’s programs for the next three decades and beyond — always contemporary.
