The Haley Gallery is operated by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, along with CMF Press, CMF Records, CMA Theater, the Frist Library and Archive, the Taylor Swift Education Center, Hatch Show Print® poster shop and Historic RCA Studio B®. The museum collects, preserves and interprets country music and its history for the education and entertainment of an array of audiences. In exhibits, publications, digital media and educational programs, the museum explores the cultural importance and enduring beauty of the art form. The museum is operated by the Country Music Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization chartered by the state of Tennessee in 1964. The museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, and is among the most-visited history museums in the United States.
Current Exhibition
Willie Cole: Lyrical Reconstructions
March 28 – May 16, 2024
Cole’s creative process blends familiar consumer objects with references to the appropriation of African and African American images, resulting in sophisticated hybrids. His most recent bodies of work repurpose discarded water bottles or musical instruments, such as his 2022 commission, “Ornithology,” for the Kansas City International Airport, a work comprised of twelve larger-than-life birds made entirely from alto saxophones with an accompanying soundscape in honor of jazz legend Charlie “Yardbird” Parker.
Upcoming Exhibition
Lori Field: Saints, Tigers, Warriors, Lovers, Flowers
May 23 – July 19, 2024
Lori Field: Saints, Tigers, Warriors, Lovers, Flowers, a solo exhibit for the internationally acclaimed artist Lori Field, opens Thursday, May 23, at Haley Gallery.
Field worked as an illustrator and textile designer before returning to her fine art practice in 1996. Since that time, she’s had numerous solo exhibitions around the globe, including New York City, Berlin, Toronto, Chicago, and Noyers-sur-Serein.
Field’s mixed media drawings, paintings, moving images and sculptures straddle a border between reality and dream, past life and present. By playing with her own fairy tales and mythology, Field inserts a reoccurring cast of characters into post-apocalyptic romantic landscapes, imagining an altered future that might be tolerable after all.
