                  RECOGNIZING THE HILLIARD ART MUSEUM

 Mr. CASSIDY. Madam President, I rise today to congratulate the 
Hilliard Art Museum on being awarded accreditation by the American 
Alliance of Museums. This accreditation offers an industry stamp of 
approval to the museum, recognizing the hard work of the Hilliard Art 
Museum team and the support of the Lafayette community.

  The Hilliard Art Museum opened its doors in 2004. Since its 
beginning, Hilliard has offered immersive art education to all who 
visit. Students, families, and art enthusiasts come to the museum for 
informative collections and breathtaking galleries.
  The Hilliard Art Museum was accredited by the American Alliance of 
Museums on November 18, 2022, after being vetted for multiple years. 
The accreditation process includes collections, organization, and 
educational assessments. With the American Alliance of Museums 
accreditation, Hilliard will have greater opportunities to grant 
funding and new opportunities to borrow art pieces from other museums 
and collections.
  Congratulations to the Hilliard Art Museum team for this recognition 
of their dedication to serving the community through art 
education.
