Set on 175 stunning acres of open space with 2.5 miles of hiking trails in the midst of Silicon Valley, Montalvo Arts Center occupies a historic Mediterranean-style villa and hosts three performing arts venues, a 10-studio artist residency complex and a formal Italianate garden. Built in 1912 by Senator James Phelan, California's first elected senator, Montalvo was bequeathed by Phelan to the state of California to serve as a site for the advancement of art, music, literature and architecture. Montalvo dedicates 25% of its annual budget to the maintenence and preservation of this community treasure.
