And recently, the museum stepped into a whole new era with a 12 million dollar expansion that is elevating the entire experience. &amp;nbsp;The new Louis Sands the IV Center adds significant space, new exhibitions, and a deeper, more immersive way to connect with Western and Indigenous art and storytelling. This expansion was not just a milestone for the museum, but really for Scottsdale as a whole. It reflects the growth of our city while still honoring the history and culture that define it. So today, I\u2019m joined by Todd Bankofier, CEO and Executive Director of Western Spirit, to talk about this exciting new chapter and what it means for the community. &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Scottsdale Vibes","author_url":"http:\/\/scottsdalevibes.media","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41024020\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/5ee4b5\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/41024020"}
