The Orange Show

The Orange Show is a work of outsider art in Houston, Texas. Jeff McKissack, a mail carrier, transformed a small suburban lot near his house into a folk art installation, which he named "The Orange Show" in honor of his favorite fruit. It was listed on the National [Register of Historic Places] in 2006.
The Orange Show has evolved into the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art and since 1980 is a non-profit organization. As a form of folk art, The Orange Show captures a segment of late 20th Century American culture. Programming at the Orange Show includes hands-on workshops, music, storytelling and performance, the Eyeopener Tour program and the Houston [Art Car Parade]. The foundation has grown to take in other folk art icons including the Beer Can House. In addition, it constructed a Smither Park with mosaic installations adjacent to The Orange Show.
The ArtCar Museum is scheduled to re-open in the Orange Show.
