    Montalvo Arts Center

    The Montalvo Art Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring a love of the arts in everyone by presenting the best of the literary, performing, and visual arts, supporting practicing artists in the major creative disciplines, and providing significant arts experiences for children. Located in the Saratoga hills, The Montalvo Art Center occupies a Mediterranean-style villa on 175 stunning acres, which Senator James Duval Phelan left to the people of California for the encouragement of art, music, literature, and architecture. Funding for The Montalvo Art Center's arts programs is provided by contributions from foundations, corporations and individuals.


    Montalvo houses exhibits of contemporary Bay Area artists or artist residents. Exhibits change every six weeks. Call ahead for updated information. Exhibit Hours: Wed-Fri: 1pm-4pm, Sat-Sun: 11am-4pm.
