In the Fall of 2002 a like-minded group of individuals formed the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame. All non-profit incorporation papers were developed, a board was formed, officers elected and two deserving individuals were inducted into the newly formed Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame. Our first inductees were Wayne Newton on December 8, 2002 and Alice Cooper on December 19, 2002.

Our Goals:
• To hold an annual induction event to induct around 10 new people every year. The Advisory Board of the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall Of Fame makes the nominations and votes on all inductions.
• To locate a facility to display historical entertainment artifacts to educate the public about Arizona entertainment history.

The success of the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame depends on the financial support of the public and the public’s desire to honor those who have contributed to the music and entertainment culture in Arizona.

We welcome all volunteers to help us with this project. Please see the Advisory Board page for information about our nomination process and voting procedures.
