Upcoming Events
The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art is a multi-site art center that exists to give Houstonians unique and authentic experiences that ignite the courage to create in everyone. We proudly preserve the legacies of the visionary artists behind the Orange Show Monument, the Beer Can House, Smither Park, and the Art Car Parade, and produce year-round programs designed to inspire curiosity and leave you feeling like part of our community.
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.
