HITN Congratulates Chicago's National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture on Prestigious American Alliance of Museums Accreditation

PRESS RELEASE - Wed, 22 Jul 2026 14:49:33

— Recognition places NMPRAC among an elite group of U.S. museums dedicated to preserving and celebrating Hispanic cultural heritage —

SOURCE: NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE

NUEVA YORK, NY — 22 de julio de 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network (HITN Media), la principal cadena pública de televisión en español en los Estados Unidos, se honra en felicitar al National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture (NMPRAC) por obtener su acreditación de parte de la American Alliance of Museums (AAM), la máxima distinción que otorga esta organización a instituciones museísticas en Estados Unidos.

Con este reconocimiento, el NMPRAC pasa a formar parte de un selecto grupo de museos acreditados con un compromiso por la preservación, investigación y difusión del arte, la historia y la cultura hispana. Asimismo, se convierte en apenas el cuarto museo dedicado al arte latino, chicano o latinoamericano en el país en recibir esta acreditación, junto con el National Museum of Mexican Art de Chicago, el Museum of Latin American Art de Long Beach, California, y el Museo de las Américas de Denver.

"Esta acreditación representa un poderoso reconocimiento al compromiso del museo con la preservación del rico legado cultural de Puerto Rico para las futuras generaciones", afirmó Michael D. Nieves, presidente y director ejecutivo de HITN Media y miembro de la Junta Directiva del NMPRAC. "Es el resultado de décadas de visión, dedicación y arduo trabajo por parte del equipo del museo y de su liderazgo. También deseo reconocer a mis compañeros de la Junta Directiva —José E. López, Juan Calderón, Rebecca Medina, Elizabeth Colón, David Hernández, Elizabeth Aquino, Paul Roldán, Eddie Ortiz, Aida Maisonet Giachello y Jaime Moctezuma— por su inquebrantable compromiso con esta extraordinaria institución."

El programa de acreditación de la American Alliance of Museums es considerado el máximo estándar de excelencia dentro del sector museístico estadounidense. Menos de 1,100 museos en todo el país cuentan con esta distinción, que reconoce los más altos niveles de desempeño en áreas como gobernanza, administración de colecciones, educación, sostenibilidad financiera y servicio público.

"Hemos trabajado para alcanzar este momento desde nuestra fundación, hace 26 años, con la convicción de que cada paso nos acercaría a este hito histórico", expresó Billy Ocasio, presidente y director ejecutivo del NMPRAC. "Esta acreditación pertenece a las generaciones de miembros de nuestra comunidad que creyeron que las historias de Puerto Rico merecían un hogar permanente a nivel nacional. Lo que comenzó como la determinación de una comunidad por preservar su espacio y contar su propia historia, hoy se ha convertido en una institución de alcance nacional donde nuestro arte, nuestra cultura y nuestra historia se conservan, se celebran y se transmiten a las futuras generaciones. Este logro no nos pertenece únicamente a nosotros, sino también a quienes vendrán después. Apenas estamos comenzando."

HITN y el NMPRAC comparten desde hace años el compromiso de servir a las comunidades hispanas mediante iniciativas educativas y culturales que preservan el patrimonio, amplifican las voces latinas y amplían el acceso a contenidos de servicio público. La acreditación del museo representa un hito trascendental no solo para la institución, sino también para el esfuerzo continuo por reconocer y celebrar las aportaciones de los puertorriqueños y de otras comunidades hispanas al patrimonio cultural de Estados Unidos.

Acerca del NMPRAC
Ubicado en el histórico edificio Humboldt Park Stables, en el barrio de Humboldt Park de Chicago, el National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Cultura es el único museo nacional fuera de Puerto Rico dedicado exclusivamente a interpretar, preserver y promover el arte y la cultura puertorriqueña. Fundado en el año 2000, es además el primer museo puertorriqueńo acreditado por la American Alliance of Museums. Para más información: https://nmprac.org/

NEW YORK, NY - July 22, 2026 - (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) - Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network (HITN), the nation's leading Spanish-language public media network, proudly congratulates the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture (NMPRAC) on earning accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), the highest national recognition awarded to museums in the United States.

The distinction places NMPRAC among a select group of accredited institutions dedicated to preserving, studying, and promoting Hispanic arts, history, and culture. The museum is only the fourth Latino, Chicano, or Latin American art museum in the country to receive AAM accreditation, joining the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago, the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, California, and Museo de las Américas in Denver.

"This accreditation is a powerful affirmation of the museum's commitment to preserving Puerto Rico's rich cultural heritage for future generations," said Michael D. Nieves, President and CEO of HITN and a member of the NMPRAC Board of Directors. "It reflects decades of dedication, vision, and hard work by the museum's staff and leadership. I also want to recognize my fellow members of the Board of Directors—José E. López, Juan Calderón, Rebecca Medina, Elizabeth Colón, David Hernández, Elizabeth Aquino, Paul Roldán, Eddie Ortiz, Aida Maisonet Giachello, and Jaime Moctezuma—for their unwavering commitment to this extraordinary institution."

The American Alliance of Museums accreditation program is widely regarded as the museum field's highest standard of excellence. Fewer than 1,100 museums nationwide have earned this distinction, demonstrating excellence in governance, collections stewardship, education, financial sustainability, and public service.

"We have worked for this moment since our inception 26 years ago, knowing that everything we did would hopefully lead to this historic milestone," said Billy Ocasio, President and CEO of NMPRAC. "This accreditation belongs to the generations of community members who believed Puerto Rican stories deserved a permanent national home. What began as a community's determination to hold space and tell its own story has grown into a national institution where our art, our culture, and our history are preserved, celebrated, and passed on. This belongs not only to us, but to future generations. We are only beginning."

HITN and NMPRAC share a longstanding commitment to serving Hispanic communities through educational and cultural initiatives that preserve heritage, elevate Latino voices, and expand access to public service programming. The museum's accreditation marks a significant milestone not only for the institution, but also for the broader effort to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Puerto Ricans and other Hispanic communities to the cultural fabric of the United States.

The journey of being a parent and caregiver to a VIP child or adult with medical or neurodiverse needs is unlike any other. It can be a daily battle across states (and countries) to find quality care and services that are needed for their proper development. It's why one of our goals at @hopetorchlighters torchlighters for the past 8 years has been to continue sharing resources and providers that are not only “insurance approved” but also “VIP approved”. Our superhero has been blessed with wonderful occupational therapists throughout his journey. Among them is First Steps Therapy @firststeptllc in Leesburg, and we are grateful to Ms. Sarah, Ms. Denise, and to be reunited with Ms. Dee again. 🙌 #OT #autism #specialneedsparenting #hopetorchlighters

🕊️Happy Heavenly Birthday, My Beautiful Mommy! You are deeply missed and loved every day. Your influence is felt in many ways, from the endless love you gave and your wonderful sense of humor to the strength of character and faith you carried. You consistently supported numerous people, organizations, businesses, non-profits, and churches for over 50 years.
🕊️It is very important to me—and to your grandsons—to continue honoring you (and Daddy) on your special days and by living a life that reflects the trailblazing lives you both led. More than that, it’s the faith and love you instilled in us. The loss still feels fresh, as if it happened yesterday. When someone irreplaceable is no longer physically with you, it’s not something you simply “get over.”
🕊️ I am grateful that I saw how you and Dad handled your grief over losing your parents. You both kept living fully, enjoying all of God’s blessings while still honoring, remembering, and grieving for your parents—my beloved grandparents—for the rest of your lives. As the end approached for both of you, just 18 months apart, you both gave me the greatest gifts any daughter, who was also your caregiver, could ever ask for; you both told me how proud and thankful they were of me as a woman, mother, daughter, in my career, and in the life I had chosen to be with them. It was a blessing from God that I could be with you throughout my life and in your final moments.
🕊️ Thank you for being my Mommy, my best friend, the best Mama for your grandsons, and everything I could ever need. I will love you for all eternity.
