About Us
About us
Mexico is an indelible part of San Diego. One doesn’t have to go far to see that Mexican culture has integrated into many aspects of San Diego life. Our community is enriched by the on-going influence of Mexico. And now after many years of hard work, we finally have a physical presence in Balboa Park! Together, we have built a house at the International Cottages in Balboa Park. While construction is finished, your support is still needed to complete financial obligations as well as ongoing cultural programming that will allow us to share, celebrate, educate and promote the rich art, culture and history of Mexico to San Diego and it’s visitors.
We are a not-for-profit organization (Federal Tax ID 51 048 4533) focused on developing and implementing on-going programs that serve the community and reflect our mission to share, celebrate, educate and promote the rich art, culture and history of Mexico to San Diego and its visitors.
Cottage Exhibits
The 32 Mexican states will be exhibited in our cottage on a rotating basis. We highlighted Nayarit, Oaxaca and Yucatan in 2023. There was a beautiful altar for Dia de los Muertos and a lovely Christmas in Mexico display. January through March 2024, we will showcase items from our Members personal collections. Check back to see when your state will be showcased.
If you have items from your home state or from your travels to Mexico that you would like to loan us for an exhibit, please contact us at info@houseofmexico.net.
