About Montalvo Arts Center |
||
| Montalvo Arts Center is an oasis of arts and culture that fulfills its mission by creating and presenting arts of all types; by nurturing artists; and by using its historic Villa, buildings and grounds in innovative ways that engage people in the creative process. Montalvo embraces Silicon Valley's leadership in innovation by being an inspirational catalyst that connects artists, community and visitors so they can experience and celebrate the arts. Montalvo's programming includes: an annual theme-based arts program; music and performance; education and public programs; new media and visual arts; and the Sally and Don Lucas Artists Residency Program. Located in the Saratoga foothills in the midst of Silicon Valley, Montalvo occupies a Mediterranean-style villa on 175 stunning acres, which Senator James Phelan left to the people of California for the encouragement of promising students in the areas of art, music, literature and architecture. |

| Montalvo's education programs advance an institutional commitment to lifelong learning. Serving more than 20,000 students each year, the education programs at Montalvo provide a multi-layered approach to the arts for K-12 students and their teachers. Through these major engagement areas: Master Classes, Performing Arts, Field Trips, Teacher Training and Summer Camps, Montalvo is committed to partnering with students, teachers and public and private schools throughout Santa Clara County, and beyond. Through these education initiatives, Montalvo strives to provide valuable arts experiences that ultimately support creativity, innovation and student achievement. In addition, Montalvo is committed to making all of its educational programs available to youth of all ages through an active scholarship program. | ||
