A statement was this sent in by the President and CEO of the Grammy Museum, Michael Sticka:

Gary Nader, the founder of the Gary Nader Art Centre, wrapped up with this:
“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.”
The exhibits to celebrate this milestone will take place 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.

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.
