The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum .

Company Overview: Located in the heart of downtown Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum documents and interprets the history of country music—a musical genre and culture central to the identity of the city, the state, and the nation. Accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the Museum proudly combines subject expertise, ambitious research and preservation of an unparalleled collection with expressions of creativity in music, art, and history. The Museum collects artifacts that illustrate the evolving history and traditions of country music while providing diverse learning opportunities. The core exhibit follows the story of country music from its folk beginnings through its emergence as a commercial art form. Rotating exhibits examine a broad range of topics, from country classics to ultra-contemporary and emerging artists in American Currents. The museum owns Hatch Show Print, a letterpress print shop opened in 1879, and it operates Historic RCA Studio B, where Elvis Presley and many others recorded.

 

Departmental Overview: The Creative Department is responsible for the design and production of all of exhibits, advertisements, collateral support materials, web graphics (social media, website and email) and on-property signage – from concept to delivery. The department’s overall goal is to perpetuate the mission of the Museum. The Creative Department interacts with nearly all other departments on projects such as Education, Events, Development, merchandise, dining and more. We support all these different, but connected elements simultaneously and produce materials that rise to a level of excellence worthy of those legends and artists we honor and celebrate.
