Balboa Park Cultural Partnership

About

The Balboa Park Cultural District is a unique area densely packed with nonprofit arts, science, history and culture organizations, artists, historic buildings, and gardens. Experiences that connect people to these topics are intended to engage visitors with the highest expressions of human creativity and achievement, and inspire them to pass on a legacy of the past while stimulating new expressions of human striving.


Mission

The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership serves as the collaborative body and collective voice for 24 arts, science, and cultural institutions in Balboa Park. Together we achieve greater effectiveness, innovation, and excellence and contribute to the vitality and sustainability of Balboa Park. Our collective of 500 trustees, 7,000 volunteers, and 3,500 staff serve more than 6.2 million visitors annually.
