Your Gift to PRAA Makes a Lasting Impact

Dear Friends of the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance,

Whether you’ve volunteered, attended an event, or supported us as a donor—thank you for standing with PRAA. Your generosity ensures our performances, exhibitions, and educational programs remain vibrant, accessible, and rooted in cultural pride.

In 2025, we proudly celebrate 27 years of serving as a cultural anchor for more than 30,000 people annually across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Since our founding, the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance (PRAA) has remained committed to empowering youth, preserving Puerto Rican heritage, and enriching communities through music and the arts.

We’ve expanded our reach across 10 Chicago Public Schools, offering students meaningful arts education that fosters creativity, engagement, and cultural identity.

This year has already been a powerful one for PRAA:

• Our Desde Mi Barrio and Baila Conmigo concert series showcased emerging Puerto Rican and Latinx artists like Jonathan Suazo, Richard Peña, and Frido Vargas.
• Our gallery exhibitions featured Persistence | Persistencia, honoring the legacy of Puerto Rican artists in Chicago, and works by master artist Reynaldo “El Guaracibo” Rodríguez, drawing hundreds of visitors.
• We launched early childhood arts programming and opened our own recording studio, creating new pathways for creative expression and learning.

This fall, we proudly present the 27th Annual National Cuatro Festival—Sonidos de mi Navidad(Sounds of My Christmas), a joyful celebration of Puerto Rican holiday music and tradition. Headlining is international salsa star Michael Stuart, joined by world-renowned cuatrista Fabiola “Fabi” Muñoz, known for her international tours with Gilberto Santa Rosa.

We invite you to support this important work. A donation today helps expand access to culturally rich programming, preserve our heritage, and inspire the next generation of artists and cultural leaders.

Your support makes it all possible. Together, we can continue to unite people through culture and build a future where the arts remain a source of pride, connection, and opportunity.

With gratitude,
Ignacio López, Ed.D.
Executive Director
Puerto Rican Arts Alliance
