THE LATIN RECORDING ACADEMY® ANNOUNCES A SERIES OF EXHIBITS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES CELEBRATING THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LATIN GRAMMYS®

MIAMI (AUGUST 15, 2024) – As part of the 25th anniversary of the Latin GRAMMYs®, The Latin Recording Academy® announced a series of exhibits throughout 2024: at The Paley Museum in New York City, the GRAMMY Museum® in Los Angeles, and the Gary Nader Art Centre in Miami.

“For 25 years we have had the immense privilege of celebrating excellence in Latin music, accompanying our music creators in their successes worldwide. These exhibits are a magnificent opportunity to bring the magic of the Latin GRAMMYs to the public,” said Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy. “We invite all music lovers to join us in New York City, Los Angeles and Miami to enjoy these exhibits, which are filled with unforgettable moments and important achievements that have marked our history.”

Exhibit details are as follows:

  • Sept. 13 – Nov. 3 – The Paley Museum, New York City – The Latin GRAMMYs kick-off exhibit at the Paley Museum unfolds its remarkable 25-year history of Latin music and celebrates the vibrant cultural tapestry that has shaped the award show into a global phenomenon. Visitors will marvel at priceless artifacts, glamorous costumes, and iconic instruments from music superstars such as Latin GRAMMY and GRAMMY winners Ricky Martin, Rosalía, Carlos Santana and Shakira—as well as celebrated New Yorkers like Latin GRAMMY and GRAMMY winners Celia Cruz and Ruben Blades—whose influence has left a lasting mark on the world of music. The exhibit will feature some of the most unforgettable moments from the Latin GRAMMY Awards® telecast, chronicle the show’s incredible evolution, and showcase why Latin music has become such an integral part of our culture.
“It is a tremendous honor to partner with The Latin Recording Academy and to have the privilege of hosting this historic 25th anniversary celebration of the Latin GRAMMY Awards at The Paley Center,” said Maureen J. Reidy, President & CEO of The Paley Center for Media. “This must-see exhibit will honor the indelible impact of Latin music and its visionary artists, whose innovative rhythms, poignant lyrics, and extraordinary contributions have redefined the global musical landscape and have had a profound impact not only on music but on entertainment and culture worldwide.”
  • Sept. 19 – Dec. 18 – GRAMMY Museum, Los Angeles – Hosted on the 2nd floor of the GRAMMY Museum as part of its permanent Latin Music Gallery, this exhibit will expand upon its extensive Latin aisle, featuring artifacts from Latin global superstars such as Shakira, Carlos Santana, Karol G, and Rosalía, among others. The exhibit will explore the last 25 years of Latin GRAMMY history, as well as the rich landscape of musical genres and cultures that have graced their stage. At the root of the exhibit is an understanding that Latin music has transformed into a massively successful commercial force in the international music landscape over the last quarter-century, with the Latin GRAMMYs playing a key role in its global development. The exhibit will also survey the history of the institution and its most important moments, while also illustrating Latin music’s creative complexity and enduring cultural impact.
“The Latin GRAMMYs have undeniably established themselves as a cultural landmark and a powerful influence in global music over the past 25 years,” said Michael Sticka, President and CEO of the GRAMMY Museum. “This fall, we eagerly anticipate commemorating more than two decades of musical excellence, memorable highlights, and extraordinary moments from the Latin GRAMMYs at the GRAMMY Museum.”
  • Sept. 26 – Dec. 20 – Gary Nader Art Centre, Miami – Miami will host a first-of-its-kind collection of 25 years of Latin GRAMMY official art, featuring original paintings by renowned artists including Romero Britto, Walter Goldfarb, Michael V. Rios—who also designed the cover of Carlos Santana’s multi-GRAMMY®-winning album Supernatural—and Patssi Valdez, among others. From mixed media to collage, murals and oil paintings, the collection includes renowned visual artists from several countries. In addition, the Brazilian muralist Aline Bispo, the official artist for the 24th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards®, will unveil a new piece to inaugurate the festivities.
“It is a profound honor to host the art exhibition commemorating the Latin GRAMMYs at our gallery in Miami. This city, with its vibrant culture and deep Latin roots, is the perfect setting to celebrate the rich heritage and artistic achievements of Latin music. We are thrilled to bring together art and music in such a dynamic fashion, highlighting the synergy between these two powerful expressions of creativity,” said Gary Nader, founder of the Gary Nader Art Centre.
