Welcome to Montalvo Arts Center!

Nestled in the foothills of Silicon Valley, Montalvo Arts Center is 175 acres of pure inspiration. Serving the South Bay and beyond with a wide range of arts, education, and community programs, we are located within a stunning public park open daily from 8am–sunset for visits to our gardens, hiking trails, and outdoor artworks. I hope you’ll come and experience this beautiful place with your family and friends as you hike, explore the gardens, and see our collection of outdoor sculpture.

As the leaves turn, we’re preparing for a host of fall and winter activities. Join us for the time-honored tradition of Yuletide at Montalvo with a market full of local artisans and delightful holiday teas. The Carriage House Theatre is full of the holiday spirit with festive shows like A Carpenters’ Christmas, Charo: Have Yourself a Cuchi Little Christmas, and—of course—David Benoit. We are also excited to present the 4th Annual Lowrider Art Showcase on November 1!

We welcome new and returning visitors (you!) to enjoy the gorgeous fall weather as you stroll our beautiful grounds. From the gardens to the rousing concerts, inspiring classes, and joyful community events, this is a place for you.

While you’re on our site, you can learn about Montalvo’s mission and vision, see all of our upcoming events, and dive into our inspiring Sally and Don Lucas Artists Residency Program. You can also join our fantastic community of Montalvo supporters by becoming a member. 

There’s something for everyone at Montalvo… so get stARTed right here!
