Greg S. Harris

Harris has expended programming at the HOF, partnering with more traditional museums such as New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2019 to create a gigantic collection of musical instruments and photographs to accompany them. During COVID-19, the HOF expanded its educational outreach and put more of its programming on YouTube where they were able to reach hundreds of teachers daily. Harris has also been instrumental in an upcoming expansion of the HOF, a project that will break ground in 2022.
