Raices Gala

The Annual Raices Gala helps to raise the necessary funds for NMPRAC to continue to thrive as a cultural anchor in the City of Chicago as well as become the preferred destination for all those wanting to learn about our rich history, art and culture.

As the only self-standing Puerto Rican museum in the United States, our vision is to collaborate with other institutions to harness the necessary resources in order to expand our programming, exhibits and visitor experience.

Our Gala demonstrates the richness of our deeply rooted arts and culture as we enjoy an evening of dinner and dancing featuring Puerto Rican artistic expressions and live entertainment. Our evening culminates in honoring individuals impacting and preserving Puerto Rican arts, history and culture through the presentation of the Ceiba Award.We hope you can join us!
