Greenwood Village owes much of its public art to the<br />

Museum of Outdoor <strong>Art</strong>s, a forerunner in the placement<br />

of site-specific sculpture in Colorado.<br />

This art collection is located at various public<br />

locations throughout the Denver metro area. From<br />

commercial office parks to traditional sculpture gardens,<br />

the art is placed to interpret space as “a museum<br />

without walls.”<br />

Founded in 1981 by John W. Madden, Jr. and daughter<br />

Cynthia Madden Leitner, the Museum of Outdoor <strong>Art</strong>s is<br />

a synthesis of fine art, architecture and landscape design<br />

integrated into the community and business environment.<br />

It is fully accessible to the public, exemplifying the belief<br />

that art is a part of everyday life.<br />

The Museum of Outdoor <strong>Art</strong>s owns and operates<br />

Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, which enhances its<br />

efforts in promoting outdoor performing arts and events.<br />

Marjorie Park, which is adjacent to the Amphitheatre, is<br />

one of the Museum’s primary outdoor and installation<br />

spaces. When the Museum of Outdoor <strong>Art</strong>s opened to<br />

the public in 1981, there were 19 art acquisitions on<br />

display. Currently, the pieces in the collection number<br />

over 150 with new changes occurring each year.<br />
