National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture CEO Billy Ocasio is keenly aware that this September marks five years since Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria, the first of a litany of crises that have since plagued the island. So, when he connected with the Museo de Arte about hosting never-before-seen-in-the-States artworks from its collection at the Humboldt Park museum, his next move was a no-brainer: NMPRAC would donate all proceeds from programming around the exhibit, “Nostalgia for My Island” (Sept. 20 to Aug. 15, 2023) — including the Orquesta Sinfónica de Puerto Rico’s Chicago debut, “Sonidos de mi Isla,” at Symphony Center on Aug. 6 — back to the Museo de Arte.
