Major Activities

Activity 2

Stewardship: The Orange Show monument: This is paramount to The Orange Show Foundation's programming as all that the organization does is derived from the unique, single-minded vision of the momument's creator, McKissack, and his work. The organization introduces thousands of tourists from Houston and beyond to The Orange Show environment and visionary art through tours and on-site workshops, lectures, concerts, films, storytellers, and site-specific performances. The Orange Show Foundation's great hope is that its restoration efforts will allow The Orange Show to continue to serve as a testament to the vibrant visual arts community of Houston and provide a venue for local supporters to value individual artistic expression for years to come.

Activity 3

Stewardship: Beer Can House: Conservation of The Beer Can House was completed in 2008, although continued preservation is actively ongoing. On February 29, 2008, the Orange Show Center held a celebration in honor of the opening of The Beer Can House, Houston Mayor Bill White "cut the ribbon" on March 6, 2008, and The Beer Can House officially opened to the public on March 8, 2008. Currently, regular historical tours of the grounds, house, and interior exhibit on weekends are offered. In fiscal year 2013-2013, more than 6,381 people visited the Beer Can House, with tourists coming from around the world. Private tours have also been arranged for senior citizen groups, civic organizations, schools, and social clubs.
