About the application

The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art presents Smither Park Sundays on the second Sunday of each month from 2 - 5 p.m. Smither Park is at 2441 Munger Street, Houston, TX 77023, conveniently off the Gulf Freeway.

 

Smither Park Sundays feature an array of live music, crafting activities for kids and adults, and an opportunity to connect with community within one of Houston’s most artistic green spaces. We invite local artisan vendors who sell handmade arts and crafts at an afford-

able price point.

About the event

The Orange Show’s campus comes alive on Smither Park Sundays, a monthly, family-friendly afternoon of live music, performances, pop-up art, lawn games, and hands-on craft activities. A curated art market allows visitors the chance to shop and snack. The flexible nature of the event provides opportunities for pop-up exhibitions, installations, demonstrations, and visiting art cars.
