Since our founding in 1982, the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art's mission has helped define Houston’s sense of creative self-expression and has stitched together a tapestry of diverse communities that celebrate the artist in everyone. Throughout our history, we have welcomed over 8 million visitors to the magic and wonder of visionary art, and cemented Houston’s place as one of the most creative cities in the world.
After years of analysis and planning, we have announced our major expansion plan that will focus on bringing our community together to make, teach, and view performing and visual arts. Outsider art, artist built environments, and our creative programming will continue to attract visitors who are inspired by art that is relatable, accessible, exciting and fun. The new campus encompasses the existing Orange Show Monument and Smither Park properties, plus a 5-acre commercial property acquired in 2017. By highway, the site is easily accessible to all 7+ million residents of the greater Houston-Woodlands-Sugar Land area.
