    ARTS SPLASH!
    OPEN HOUSE & STUDENT ARTS FESTIVAL
    Saturday, April 17, 11am – 4pm
    Montalvo Arts Center Celebrates the Arts and the Community at FREE event

    SARATOGA, Calif. – Montalvo Arts Center invites the public to ARTS SPLASH!, an Open
    House and Student Arts Festival celebrating the arts and the community on April 17 from 11
    a.m. to 4 p.m. The FREE day-long event features a wide variety of activities and events for all
    ages, including music and dance performances and visual art exhibitions created by 14 student
    groups from Santa Clara County schools; hands-on art workshops; open artists’ studios and
    presentations in the Lucas Artists Residency Program; a special performance by the Banana
    Slug String Band; ranger-led hikes of the forest trails; informative tours of the historic Villa and
    grounds; food concessions, including a beer and wine garden; and so much more. Free parking
    and shuttle service will be provided from West Valley College all day; limited parking at $10 per
    car is available on site.

    A central focus of the Open House that makes it truly unique to the community is the inclusion of
    the Student Arts Festival. Montalvo partnered with the Santa Clara County Office of Education
    to reach out to K-12 grade student teams, inviting them to submit themed proposals on the topic
    of the environment for student collaborative artworks or performances addressing environmental
    concerns for the event. Montalvo expects to host more than 170 students and their families
    throughout the day.

    Also part of the Open House line-up is a performance by the popular Banana Slug String
    Band, known for relating their performances to the environment and earth. Fostering ecological
    awareness, the Banana Slug String Band promotes music as a powerful instrument for honoring
    our world’s diversity while uniting people for the common good. With vocals, guitars, mandolin,
    bass, harmonica, banjo and percussion, Slug songs range from rockin' boogies to sensitive
    ballads; folk songs to reggae and rap. The lovable Slugs – “Airy" Larry Graff, Doug "Dirt"
    Greenfield, "Solar" Steve Van Zandt and "Marine" Mark Nolan – provide accurate information
    about natural history and science through music, theater, puppetry and audience participation in
    this fun-filled interactive concert.
    Features of the day:

    • Student performances and art exhibitions

    About Montalvo Arts Center


    Montalvo Arts Center is a nonprofit organization that fosters community engagement through the creation and
    presentation of multidisciplinary art. By uniting the broadest possible audiences with a global community of artists,
    Montalvo expands the role of arts and culture as an essential community resource. 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. Located in the Saratoga foothills in the midst of Silicon Valley,
    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. In January 2005, the organization changed its name from "Villa Montalvo" to "Montalvo Arts Center" to
    better communicate its mission to increasing local, national and international audiences. Montalvo celebrates its
    centennial in 2012. For more information about Montalvo Arts Center, call 408.961.5800 or visit
