Founded in 1981 as a nonprofit arts organization, the Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) is an interdisciplinary arts organization that offers visual, performing and experiential arts programs and events. Known as a pioneer in placing site-specific sculpture throughout Colorado. MOA’s permanent art collection spans a variety of public spaces across the Denver metro area—from office parks and botanical gardens to urban parks and dedicated sculpture gardens—creating what we call “a museum without walls.”
In addition to its acclaimed outdoor visual art installations, MOA champions the performing and experiential arts by presenting live music, theater, and dance at its venues, including the distinctive Marjorie Park. Through curated performances, concerts, and festivals, MOA supports and promotes local and regional musicians and performing artists, offering them opportunities to share their work in immersive, art-forward environments.
MOA also invests in arts education, providing programs for students of all ages and paid opportunities for both emerging and established artists. From exhibitions to interdisciplinary events, MOA invites the community to engage with art in all its forms. At its core, MOA remains dedicated to its mission of making art a part of everyday life.
