The Annual Raíces Gala helps to raise the necessary funds for NMPRAC to continue to thrive as a cultural anchor in Chicago as well as become the preferred destination for all those wanting to learn about our rich history, art, and culture. Our vision is to collaborate with other institutions to harness the necessary resources in order to expand 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.
