The Orange Show presents: Lonnie Holley
2022 Artist-in-Residence | October 6-8, 2022

Among the foremost self-trained visionary artists of the American South, Lonnie Holley (b. 1950, Birmingham, AL) is a bona fide art world superstar and a favorite on the music festival circuit. Known primarily for his found object assemblages and immersive yard art installations, Holley is an alchemist who deftly transforms the cast-off detritus of society into resonant talismans that critique, question, or commemorate.

During his residence at The Orange Show, Mr. Holley conducted an intensive workshop with a curated group of advanced art student and early-career participants using castoff material from Houston junkyards, creating an immersive site-specific sculptural installation. In addition, he conducted a workshop with elementary school-aged children, teaching them how to use common objects and discarded material to create meaningful pieces of art.

His residence was highlighted by a musical performance on the evening of October 8th within the Orange Show's World Headquarters, surrounded by the pieces of art created during his on-site workshops.
