Fall Break Programs include: 

Friday, Oct. 14 | Creative Zone: Cool Cars and Drivable Designs
11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Visitors can design cool rides for their road trip. Attendees will consider where they would like to go and the transportation they will take to get there. The stylish rides on view in the museum will give inspiration for their adventure. Will attendees travel in a "solid gold" limousine like Elvis Presley, a cowboy convertible like Webb Pierce, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle like Keith Whitley or a train like Jimmie Rodgers?

 

Saturday, Oct. 15 | Family Program: Musical Instrument Petting Zoo: Global Road Trip

1 – 3 p.m.
Participants can join the museum for a Musical Petting Zoo road trip around the world. In this special version of the museum's popular program, visitors will trace the origins of the instruments that are central to the country sound and beyond. Attendees will stamp their passports as a professional musician explores international origins of the fiddle, guitar, banjo, ukulele and more. Then, participants can try their hand at all the instruments in the zoo. Instructors will be on site to offer guidance.

 

Saturday, Oct. 22 | Family Program: Design Your Own Award

1:30 p.m.
During the program, attendees will imagine an award they would like to receive some day, think of the hard work and steps needed to reach that goal and solidify their aspirations by creating their dream award using commonly found objects. Participants will take inspiration from the exhibition Chris Stapleton: Since 1978, presented by Ram Trucks, which features many of the more than 32 awards the country singer has won to date, including a Grammy for Best Country Album and a Waffle House Tunie award for having the most-played song on Waffle House jukeboxes. Offered in support of the exhibition Chris Stapleton: Since 1978, presented by Ram Trucks.

Sunday, Oct. 23 | Creative Zone: Hip Hats
11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Throughout country music history, numerous artists and musicians have counted a cowboy hat as a part of their signature look. For example, Chris Stapleton is often seen wearing a Charlie 1 Horse hat with a snakeskin band embellished with bird feathers and a large turquoise stone. Using hats on view throughout the museum as inspiration— including those in the exhibition Chris Stapleton: Since 1978 — aspiring designers will make and decorate their own paper hats. Offered in support of the exhibition Chris Stapleton: Since 1978, presented by Ram Trucks.
