The Circus is
coming to Montalvo!
 | |
Circus Bella will perform July 29.
|
We are excited to present the first-ever circus performance at Montalvo: Circus Bella will bring a spectacular one-ring show to the stage on Sunday, July 29, at 2pm!
Circus Bella is a contemporary, open air act featuring an original score performed by a live quartet. Formed in San Francisco, Circus Bella's ensemble of nine incredible performers have been putting on original shows throughout the Bay Area since 2008. These shows feature high-flying trapeze, juggling, tightrope and more - everything you expect from a circus!
 If your kids love the circus, be sure to sign them up for our Winter Circus Arts Camp! This camp runs from February 20-24 during school break, and explores juggling, feather balancing, stilt walking, tumbling and clowning with "Texas the Clown" from the San Francisco Circus Center - all in a safe environment at Montalvo.
Also during the week of February 20-24, our Residency Design Camp will delight and educate your kids about all areas of design: fashion, architecture, graphic and landscape design are all explored. Click here to visit our UltraCamp page and register online for either or both of these inspiring camps!

This FREE event begins at 6pm in the historic Villa, and will be followed by an Opening Reception at 7pm in the Project Space Gallery for our new exhibition, O' Great Reverie: Montalvo 1912-2012, a thematic timeline created by artists Scott Barry and Neil Doshi in celebration of our Centennial year.
