In November, we were honored to host the Disney Live Entertainment team, who shared a behind-the-scenes look at the process of designing and creating the costumes worn in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. From researching the costumes throughout the Star Wars legacy to using innovative techniques for inclusive and functional wearable pieces, these costumes highlight the ingenuity and expertise involved in costume design. Thank you to the Disney Live Entertainment team for sharing their knowledge and experience and bringing example costumes for the audience to appreciate, to the Mesa College Fashion Program for hosting us, and to those who joined us for this community event!

At Visions Museum of Textile Art, our members are the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’ve taken a fresh look at our membership program to make it simpler, stronger, and filled with even more value for you. What’s new in 2026? • Individual Membership in January 2026 will be $65 (a small $5 increase) to help us navigate increased costs and today’s economic climate while keeping membership accessible to all. Renew Early & Save! Renew your Individual Membership by December 31, 2025, and lock in the current $60 rate before it increases to $65 in January. (Early registration does not apply to Dual members.) • The Dual level will be discontinued in 2026 and transitioned into our enhanced Supporter level ($125): We are phasing out the Dual level in 2026 and introducing one enhanced Supporter tier. This means fewer levels to sort through, clearer benefits, greater value, and an even better membership experience. (If you have a Dual membership, your current Dual membership will continue as promised until it expires. When it’s time to renew in 2026, you’ll be invited to transition into our new enhanced Supporter level.) Here’s a glimpse of what’s waiting for you: Invitations to exhibition openings to all members. Early access and member pricing for workshops, programs, and art excursions. Access to member-only events + member challenges. Discounts, birthday perks, and artist website link opportunities. Supporter level and up: North American Reciprocal Museum (NARM) privileges! And even more as you move up through Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers, including private curator tours, biennial catalogs, and even complimentary use of the museum space. Every membership level strengthens VMOTA’s mission to celebrate textile art as fine art, champion artists locally and globally, and create a space for cultural exchange, shared humanity, and emotional resilience. Stay tuned for more updates as we enter an exciting new year at VMOTA! Learn more at https://vmota.org/join/
