ON THE ORANGE SHOW...

"You could make a strong argument that the Orange Show is the funkiest address in the un-funkiest big city in America"
- Car and Driver

" The Orange Show may not be the "biggest thing to hit Houston since the domed stadium" as McKissack predicted, but it has certainly galvanized the arts community in a way no museum or gallery has."
- Texas Monthly

"The Orange Show is a phantasmagoria, an eye- filling architectural circus, an unexpected oasis of pleasure..."
- Houston Chronicle

"I think it is the most interesting thing in town. Its a whole lot more interesting than the astrodome. Its got the same engineer too."
- Barry Moore to the Dallas Morning Herald

"... looks like a topless castle designed by a committee composed of Alexander Calder, Rube Goldberg, and Mad King Ludwig."
- Texas Monthly

"...the Acropolis of folk art sites in Houston and one of the most important in the country"
- Houston Press

"Artistic. Bountiful. Complex. Didactic. Eclectic. Fascinating. Gaudy. Heuristic. Idiosyncratic. Joyful. Keen. Lively. Mechanical. Novel. Orange. Exotic. Quixotic. Rhythmic. Sensational. Tactile. Unconventional. Visionary. Whimsical. Xenophilic. Zany."
- The Houston Post

"Roxanne has done a complete turnaround since she started working with the Orange Show. Now she says she wants to be an artist. Her grades have improved dramatically, she is so much happier"
- Roxanne's teacher

"It stands out in a tired neighborhood of framed houses like a clown among uniformed mannequins"
- San Antonio Express News

"You could take 100,000 architects and 100,000 engineers and all of them put together couldn't conceive of a show like this"
- Jefferson Davis McKissack
