In 2010, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, together with the GRAMMY Museum, launched the SHOF Gallery at the GRAMMY Museum, with the premier Songwriting Legends-in-the-Round event. The Gallery installation features video highlights from annual SHOF Awards & Induction Dinners, as well as information on all SHOF inductees and honorees. There are interactive songwriting collaboration kiosks which permit Gallery visitors to try their luck at writing songs with the likes of Hal David, Lamont Dozier and Desmond Child.
