Museum of Outdoor Arts

Founded in 1981 by John W. Madden, Jr. and daughter Cynthia Madden Leitner, the Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) is a synthesis of fine art, architecture and landscape design integrated into the community and business environment. It is fully accessible to the public, exemplifying the belief that "art is a part of everyday life." The Museum's concept of environmental synthesis won the American Institute of Architecture Award, and in 1982 the concept of art in everyday life further developed by establishing MOA as a nonprofit organization.
