Our Mission

As a non-profit multi-cultural arts organization we are dedicated to promoting, presenting and preserving the African Diaspora and Indigenous cultures of the world through Music, Art, Dance, Multi-Media Arts, Education, and STEAM Research. We are located in beautiful Balboa Park in the heart of San Diego, California.

By raising consciousness, the WorldBeat Cultural Center promotes peace within our San Diego community. We provide on-going programs and services that nurture the spirit of children, the elderly and everyone in between. Our main goal is to create unity within diversity.
