I'm so pleased you're joining us for one of our stellar concerts. Whether it's your first or your fiftieth time here, we welcome you! Your support, in the form of your ticket purchase, helps us foster what I like to call the "Montalvo Experience." What is the Montalvo Experience? It's stimulating public performances. One of the pillars of our arts programming is our world - class concert series. The show you're about to watch is one of 40 in our 2012 -2013 Carriage House and Villa Concert seasons. This summer, we will once again host vibrant outdoor concerts in our Lilian Fontaine Garden Theatre. Stay tuned for the line -up announcement in the upcoming months. It's inspiring arts education for all ages. Montalvo proudly presents an array of educational performances and curriculum -based science, literature, and arts programs for children of all ages. At a time when the arts continue to be underfunded in California, our education programs are an especially vital community resource. In total last year, our education department served 15,000 students. June through August, we continue a beloved tradition with our visual and performing arts camps, featuring over 30 week -long classes. Enrollment is open now! It's fueled by our world -class Sally and Don Lucas Artists Residency Program. The creative exuberance of our resident artists permeates all we do at Montalvo. The Lucas Artists Residency (or LAP), is the oldest of its kind in the United States west of the Mississippi, and enjoys international renown. Read all about it on the facing page. It's here for your enjoyment all year long. Our gorgeous grounds, with miles of hiking trails, and our beautiful formal Italianate Garden are open to the public 364 days a year!

Seeking 1 to stimulate an energetic exchange of ideas between culturally diverse Fellows and across varied artistic fields and scholarly disciplines, the residency has earned international recognition as a ` model of curatorial practice supporting the development of new and challenging contemporary work. Located amidst a 175 -acre natural landscape, Montalvo was built by the late Senator James D. Phelan in 1912. Upon his death in 1930, the Senator gifted his beloved Montalvo to the San Francisco Art Association to be maintained "as a public park [with] the buildings and grounds immediately surrounding... to be used as far as possible for the development of art, literature, music, and architecture by promising students." After assuming trusteeship, the Art Association Montalvo Arts Center announced their intent to launch an artist residency at Montalvo, the third program of its kind in the United States. In 1939, Montalvo's residency opened with five artist studios and a small gallery in the Saratoga, California historic Villa. At the official opening, Dr- Stephen Pepper, head of the art department at the University of California, Berkeley stated, "Through the cooperation of artists and the community, Montalvo in its silence and beauty, will become one of the creative forces of the world." above: Studios 60 and 61 [photo: Tom Ligamari): right, top to bottom: Studio visit (photo: Lauren Baines); Historic Villa [photo: Taylor Welty): Final Fridays (photo: Julie Thorne); 0 California, Ann Weber, 2011 (photo: Nathan Zanonl J.

Using that underlying prem- ise, San Mateo-born contempo- rary sculptor Chuck Ginnever created "Rashomon," a sculp- ture installation that was re- cently put in place on the newly replanted Great Lawn at Sara - toga's Montalvo Arts Center. Consisting of 15 identical geo- metric forms that are each about 3 feet tall and made out of bands of steel, the pieces are grouped in such a way that viewers must move through the installation to get the full picture. The sculp- ture has 15 different sides and eight balancing points, and the pieces are devoid of right angles and parallel lines. From one view, the installation appears to be two - dimensional shapes with flattened planes, and from another, it looks like three - dimensional ob'ects in space. Ginnever, w o is known pri- marily for his large -scale ab- stract sculpture, has created a piece that is intended to engage audiences with the notions of subjectivity and perception. Visitors are encouraged to move around the installation slowly and deliberately to get the full effect of the art. The installation is one of the newest being exhibited at Mon- talvo and is presented as part of the center's 2013 Arts on the Grounds program. "The piece is really going to be an exploration for visitors to PHOTOGRAPH BY GEORGE SAKKESTAD `Rashomon,' the newest installation for the Montalvo Art on the Grounds program, was created by contemporary sculptor Chuck Ginnever. Ginnever's work directly engages with notions of subjectivity and perception, and questions our presuppositions about rationality and universal views. try and understand what it is— what's happening there? Is it 15 separate pieces or one singular shape ?" said Kelly Sicat, direc- tor of the Sally and Don Lucas Artists Residency program at Montalvo. "I think it's a very nice way to engage our audi- ences with sculpture." Sicat said this is the first time the piece is being exhibited at the center. Prior to coming to Montalvo, the piece was on view at the San Jose Institute of Con- temporary Art. "I think this was an oppor- tunity to present an object of sculpture on our grounds, em- phasizing our focus on devel- oping our sculpture program," she said. "This was an oppor- tunity for us to work with ICA as a partner and display a work of sculpture that was more of a formal sort of style." "Rashomon" ties in also to Montalvo's programmatic theme for 2013 -2014 of wellness and well being, said Sicat. The center will hold a celebra- tion event sometime in August, when it will screen the 1950 Akira Kurosawa film that the mstalla- tion was based on and promote a dialogue about Ginnever's art- work. The film, which depicts a vio- lent crime through the widely differing accounts of four wit- nesses whose testimonies are mutually contradictory and mo- tivated by factors such as ego, is intended to be an exploration of multiple realities and demon- strates the inherent unreliabil- ity of subjective experience. The Rashomon exhibition will run through Sept. 15 on the Great Lawn of the Montalvo Arts Center, 15400 Montalvo Road in Saratoga. The grounds of the center are open for free to the public daily.

The 2013 programming exemplifies the ways in which Montalvo stands above the many choices in our community for arts education, and speaks to the fact that this caliber of programming can only be found here. New to this summer camp schedule is a robust offering of disciplines, including visual, theatrical, musical, literary, culinary, digital, and circus arts. We are also looking at this programming through the thematic lens of Creating Wellbeing through the Arts. Health, happiness and wellbeing are integral factors to artistic expression. This summer we will delve deeper into the elements of play, discovery, self - perception and expression, community building, environmental engagement, and simple enjoyment as a means to developing a thriving life within the arts. I came to Montalvo in 2012 after years working as an artist, educator and administrator where my mission has been to preserve artistic traditions and to foster an evolving arts engagement that retains cultural identity. Having earned a B.F.A. in Photography and Ceramics as well as a K -12 teaching certification, I have taught both children and adults in the U.S., New Zealand, Tanzania, and Honduras. I also served as the Art Director of Camp Walden, MI. In addition to my position at Montalvo, I continue to work in a variety of mediums, knowing by doing the need to create and express. I am pleased to announce that Camp Program Manager Savoy Stevens will begin her second year with Montalvo this summer. Savoy is a local artist and educator with a B.S. in Art Education from the State University of New York at New Paltz.
