Montalvo Arts Center

Located in the Saratoga foothills in the midst of Silicon Valley, the Montalvo Arts Center 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.

As a member-supported nonprofit arts organization, Montalvo 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 Valley¹s leadership in innovation by being an inspirational catalyst that connects artists, community and visitors so they can experience and celebrate the creative process. 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.

Montalvo's grounds and hiking trails are free to the public and are open from 8am-5pm Monday-Thursday and 9am-5pm Friday-Sunday (except major holidays and during certain special events). Free parking is available on site.
