Everyone,
We are going to ride out from Peaberry's Coffee Shop in Highlands to the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood/Lakewood/Greenwood Village
The Museum of Outdoor Arts believes in making art a part of everyday life by integrating classical and contemporary artwork into public spaces. John Madden developed Greenwood Plaza to be an environment that incorporates landscape design, architecture, and art. The Museum of Outdoor Arts owns and operates Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, which enhances our efforts in promoting outdoor performing arts and events. Samson Park, which is adjacent to the Amphitheatre, is one of the Museum’s primary outdoor exhibition and installation spaces.
The first stop will be the Englewood Civic Center to view the Sculpture Garden
Nine out of ten sculptures featured in the Sculpture Garden are part of Collection IV, a group of work acquired from the International Sculpture Center in New Jersey. Curator and artist Terry Karpowicz says, “This collection is a celebration of the object-maker, the artist who works with his or her hands not only to challenge our eyes and imaginations, but also to identify the specific time in which they were created. Thes eworks will withstand the test of time and be enhanced by it.” Although Grace Knowlton’s piece was not part of the ISC collection, it follows in the examination of late 20th century sculpture.

Greenwood Plaza

Englewood, CO 80111
In many cultures the lion represents a symbol for strength and courage.
In both Eastern and Western art, the lion holds influential stature above all. The animal’s metaphoric power is often translated through allegorical artwork and is highly referenced in Christian iconography. The Old Testament story of Daniel in the lions’ den symbolizes the notion of salvation, after the biblical figure was condemned to spend a night with the mythological beasts and survived.
Each lion is inspired by great Italian sculptures from antiquity and the height of the Renaissance.
