Now On Sale! Bruce Munro at Montalvo: Stories in Light

Bruce Munro at Montalvo: Stories in Light -- on sale now!

Tickets are now on sale for our astonishing new exhibition by artist Bruce Munro. Featuring 10 light-based works ranging in scale from immersive to intimate, Bruce Munro at Montalvo: Stories in Light will utilize multi-hued waves, clusters, cascades, flocks, and seas of illumination, transforming our historic Villa and grounds into a breathtaking spectacle of light. 

This Chronicles of Narnia-inspired exhibition is the first time Munro's work will be publicly on display on the West Coast, and will be the largest number of his works ever on view at a single venue. 

In addition to viewing the works, there are multiple additional ways to engage with this gorgeous exhibition: you can volunteer for various aspects of the show, enjoy an elegant prix-fixe meal before your entry time, learn how to capture the specific beauty of Munro's work by taking a night photography class, attend a lecture presented by the artist himself, and more! 

Do you have kids? Bring them to one of our Family Nights on December 22, December 29, January 20, and February 17. On those evenings, we'll be offering additional activities for youth of all ages, including art-making, a scavenger hunt, and more.

The exhibition is open to the public on select days from October 28, 2018 - March 17, 2019. Standard tickets are $25 ($18 for children and seniors) with timed entry between 6-8:20pm. 

Please note that no cars will be allowed on site, and all patrons must park at West Valley College and board a free shuttle to Montalvo.

DATAPRINT Examines Online Privacy

DATAPRINT: In Process

Join us for a fascinating Open Access event as Kaimera Productions presents their new work-in-progress DATAPRINT on Tuesday, August 21 at 6pm.

Created as a way to explore the global conversation around data mining and online privacy, DATAPRINT is an immersive installation/workshop that will invite audiences to examine the impact of their digital fingerprint and question the ethics of data secrecy. This gathering is an opportunity for Kaimera, a live arts collective based in New York and Paris, to fine-tune DATAPRINT with feedback and insights from Montalvo audiences. 

After the August 21 trial run at Montalvo, the work will move to the Tech Museum in San Jose, where it will continue to be improved. The final installation will be presented at the Civic Center BART subway station in San Francisco and the Cubbon Park Metro Station in Bangalore, India as part of the Art In Transit Festival.
