Culture and the Arts
The arts thrive in Los Gatos. In this picturesque Silicon Valley enclave, galleries, museums and numerous pieces of public art add more character to an already unique town. As residents of the area ourselves, your Los Gatos, CA Realtors at Team Ardizzone & Howmiller appreciate how dynamic the cultural and artistic scene in Los Gatos is. The town itself already looks like a work of art, with its architecturally distinctive homes and historic downtown district.
Apart from the various galleries scattered throughout the town’s shopping areas, as well as public art like the Forbes Mill Footbridge Youth Mural and the hidden mural under the Main Street Bridge, you can view both permanent and changing collections at the town’s two museums. Showcasing the town’s history and the talents of artists from near and far, the simply named Art Museum and History Museum are both an integral part of Los Gatos, CA. Realtors Rick Ardizzone, John Howmiller and Jeff McLaughlin would also like to draw your interest to the Los Gatos cat sculptures, local landmarks with a fascinating history that are used as the basis for the town’s logo today.
The Art Museum is housed in a historic Mediterranean-style structure that was once the Tait Avenue Firehouse. The museum conducts interactive tours for the town’s younger residents, holds art appreciation classes and storytelling sessions, and hosts a range of exhibitions featuring works in various media all year round. The Historic Museum is also housed in a historic structure, the Forbes Mill Annex, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
