Arizona’s arts advocacy organization is getting a new leader.

After more than a decade with Arizona Citizens for the Arts, including eight as its executive director, Rusty Foley is retiring at the end of the month.

Her replacement will be Joseph Benesh, who most recently has served as director of Phoenix Center for the Arts. Benesh and Foley joined The Show to talk about the transition.
