In this episode, we meet with the 2025–2026 Executive Committee President of the Arizona Costume Institute (ACI), Donna Johnson, and dive into how this fashion-forward nonprofit has grown, evolved its mission, and built a vibrant community around fashion preservation and design. From discussing how ACI became part of the Phoenix Art Museum ecosystem to exploring what drives its members, what makes it unique in the Arizona arts scene, and how the organization continues to elevate fashion education, this conversation covers it all. Don’t miss out- join ACI at their annual Holiday Luncheon on Monday, December 8, 2025, at the Arizona Biltmore to support fashion exhibitions, acquisitions, and education programs, and secure your seat today.
