Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) is a
non-profit museum and gallery based in

Colorado.
It was founded in 1981 by John W. Madden, Jr. and his daughter, Cynthia Madden Leitner. Open 365 days a year, the outdoor sculpture garden combines fine art,
architecture, and
landscape design. The MOA holds temporary indoor exhibits, special events, and collaborative performances designed to exemplify its commitment to visual and
performing arts
The performing arts are arts such as music, dance, and drama which are performed for an audience. They are different from the visual arts, which are the use of paint, canvas or various materials to create physical or static art objects. Perform ...
as a crucial part of community life.
Museum of Outdoor Arts owns
Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre and currently leases the space to
Anschutz Entertainment Group after its contract expired with LiveNation in 2013.
