BPCP member institutions vary in size and type and include museums, performing arts groups and theatres, collaborative groups, cultural centers, gardens and the San Diego Zoo.The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership: Drives collaboration between BPCP members, other Balboa Park organizations, and with external partners to leverage the highest collective impact for the visiting public, local residents, and the City and County of San Diego; Ensures a voice for all BPCP members for the broadest participation reflecting the range of cultural organizations in Balboa Park; Generates unified messaging and strategic awareness on behalf of Balboa Park cultural organizations;Advances priorities ever mindful of capacity, audiences, resources, and impact; and false false 2717472 2900415 Balboa Park Explorer:With support from The James Irvine Foundation, BPCP is now offering a 1-day, multi-day and annual pass for guests the Balboa Park Explorer (the Explorer) providing general admission to all 17 museums in Balboa Park. This is an important project because, for many years, community members have expressed interest in a product that would provide annual admission to arts, science, and culture institutions in Balboa Park for one cost. As part of BPCPs efforts to build a better Balboa Park experience, our goal for the Explorer is to broaden access to the Park, making the visitor experience a smoother, more inter-connected journey through our many diverse institutions. For example, families will face fewer barriers in terms of cost and time restrictions when they visit with an Explorer that gives them unlimited access. The Explorer also provides a new marketing opportunity and a chance to build a sense of ownership and pride in Balboa Park among our visitors. Additionally, the Explorer will provide more opportunities for the institutions to collaborate programmatically. 956096 10240 Learning Institute:The Learning Institute is a professional education program and learning community for staff and volunteers in arts, science, and cultural institutions. It was launched through professional development in 2008 as part of collaborative efforts to achieve greater organizational efficiency, innovation, and excellence. BPCP envisions that a strengthened professional community will enrich the experience and value of arts, science, and culture for our audiences and communities. During 2016, BPCP Learning Institute launched an Online Learning Management System to provide consistent training across the park.The One Park-One Team philosophy encourages extensive collaboration across the park at all levels and through all member organizations. The program includes special events and communications opportunities, including social media, for everyone in the park from part time volunteers to museum Trustees. It is the expectation that a continued focus on the One Park-One Team program will drive greater collaboration, foster increased intra-park communications and result in enhanced operations. The Learning Institute empowers individuals and organizations with specialized continuing education opportunities. Areas of study include leadership, audience experience, evaluation, sustainability and other topics related to the cultural sector. BPCP member institutions are the primary audience of the Learning Institute. However, many offerings are open to individuals from cultural organizations outside of Balboa Park. Whenever possible, the Learning Institute partners with related local and national groups/organizations to leverage high quality learning resources. 451628 161976 PROGRAM EVENTS:Maker Faire San Diego is a celebration of anyone who makes anything and can teach others to make it, too.
