MISSION, VISION & VALUES

MISSION
Our mission is to enrich the cultural life in and beyond San Diego by facilitating collaboration among Balboa Park's cultural institutions and with the community; to enable the cultural institutions to achieve their full individual and collective potential; and, to preserve, enhance, and make accessible the arts, science, and cultural assets of Balboa Park for present and future generations.

VISION
Our vision is for Balboa Park to serve as a national model for exceptional collaboration, innovative education, and transformative arts, science, and cultural experiences.

VALUES
Values that underlie the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership's processes, outputs, and culture include:

• Collaboration
  Working collaboratively is at the heart of all the Partnership does. We use our collective strengths and resources wherever possible to make us stronger together than we can be individually, through what we do as well as how we do it.
  
  
• Stewardship
  We respect and effectively build, utilize and preserve the cultural, human, and financial resources of our community. We share and leverage these resources responsibly to make the experience of Balboa Park arts, science, and cultural institutions continuously more accessible-physically, personally, and intellectually-in person and virtually.
  
  
• Learning and Dissemination
  We value opportunities to learn from years of collective wisdom in Balboa Park as well as to continually build new skills, seek greater insights, and challenge convention. This helps us to problem-solve, foster innovation and encourage new thinking. Sharing our learning advances the vitality of our members, our community, and the arts, science, and cultural fields.
  
  
• Innovation and Agility
  The Partnership embraces the generative possibilities of collaboration. We strive to maintain an agile organizational structure that allows us to be open and strategically responsive to new opportunities, including ones in which we can be pioneers.
  
  
• Connectivity
  Partnership members and the community are strengthened through our external relationships. Serving as the "go to" organization between Balboa Park institutions as a whole and the community encourages sharing, coordination, and collaboration on a broader scale.
  
  
• Excellence
  The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership seeks excellence in all that we do in order to serve as a vital asset for our members and the community. BPCP enhances our members' capacity to achieve the highest professional standards and deliver the greatest value to their communities.
