YOUR STORY. OUR STORY. BUILDING A COMMUNITY IN THE HOME OF ROCK AND ROLL.

2014-2015 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY PRESIDENT’S LETTER

THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME + MUSEUM HAS CRANKED UP THE VOLUME. Our interactive exhibits, social media, coveted events, educational initiatives and public outreach are reaching new heights and new audiences.

We turned 20 this year. In that time we have experienced phenomenal growth, and it’s amazing to see our progress on the original promise that the Museum would serve as a center for communities and fans – locally and around the world. In 2015, we hit the 10-million mark for visitors to the Museum.

It’s the countless stories of songwriters and musicians that compose rock and roll history. It’s also the story of you, the fans, our supporters. You share your rock and roll experiences with us daily – in the museum, in messages, and in the feedback you provide after visiting the Museum, to posting photos and reviews on social media.

An online fan vote generated massive buzz of passionate debate. The expanded 2015 Inductee exhibit turned the media attention and online conversation to the exhibit and Tina Turner elevated the visibility of visitor experience. As a result, we’ve witnessed some of our highest attendance records ever in 2015.

Response to Paul Simon: Words & Music exhibit was tremendous. The media and public alike have been hungry for the first-hand storytelling that guides the on-site and virtual experience. Herb Ritts: The Rock Portraits gave us stunning images that beautifully captured the artists’ larger-than-life personas. Meanwhile, our education initiatives, including Toddler Rock and our Rockin’ the Schools program, continue to instill a passion for music in our youth. And our recent collaboration with Alternative Press magazine to celebrate its 30th anniversary yielded engagement from multiple generations and resulted in the most organic social participation from artists we’ve ever seen for an exhibit.

These successes are because of you – our fans, donors, members and volunteers. Your rock and roll stories continue to be an integral part of our history moving forward. Without your unwavering support we would not be where we are today. For that we thank you.

To our future,

Greg Harris, President and Chief Executive Officer The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Inc. 2015 ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTION WEEK
