It was launched by the 27 member institutions of the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership in 2008 as part of collaborative efforts to achieve greater organizational efficiency, innovation, and excellence. We believe that a strengthened professional community will enrich the experience and value of arts, science, and culture for our audiences and communities. Learn more.
