This summer the Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) invites the public to experience the arts at Marjorie Park, located at Fiddler’s Green in Greenwood Village, CO. Now in its fifth year, MOA’s popular summer series returns with a vibrant lineup of community-centered events that blend visual art, live music, and comedy. All of this takes place in the park’s inspiring setting, which includes a variety of nearly 50 sculptures and art installations. The Marjorie Park Uncorked series features something for everyone, from energetic bluegrass concerts and casual happy hours with live performances to laugh-out-loud comedy nights. Many events are free to attend, and guests are welcome to bring their own picnics (no outside beverages) while enjoying the artful atmosphere. Highlights include Bluegrass on the Green (a monthly concert series), Rock the Block (a community happy hour with live music and art), comedy nights, and SCFD Free Days. “We love to bring community together through the arts,” said MOA Executive Director, Cynthia Madden Leitner.” This year’s summer series at Marjorie Park continues our longstanding commitment to making the arts accessible, engaging, and central to everyday life.” Marjorie Park is located at 6331 S. Fiddler’s Green Circle, Greenwood Village, CO 80111 and is part of the Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre property. The sculpture park and events venue reopened in 2021 after an extensive renovation to the 3-acre property. Today, the park is headquarters to the Museum of Outdoor Arts and also serves as an amenity to Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre concertgoers. MOA curates a variety of seasonal arts programs, as well as hosts temporary installations and a large portion of its permanent collection. The venue is also available to rent for private events and corporate gatherings. Additional fall events and programs will be announced later this summer.
