Discover F.A.B.R.I.C. (The Fashion And Business Resource Innovation Center), Arizona’s fashion incubator with a guided, educational tour of this three-story, 23,000 square foot facility by the co-founders Sherri Barry and Angela Johnson. Formerly the Tempe Performing Arts Center, F.A.B.R.I.C. is a partnership between the City of Tempe, Arizona Apparel Foundation (a 501-c3), LabelHorde (an AZ fashion directory supplying industry resources and education) and AZ Fashion Source (a no-minimum, small batch apparel manufacturer). The mission of the non-profit is to showcase AZ's emerging designers and brands, and provide them with innovative small batch manufacturing and strategic business resources to help them build sustainable fashion businesses, locally. Together, along with many other businesses including a screen printer, video production company, events production company, makeup artist, hair stylist, arts collective and fabric store, they provide a one-stop location where a design entrepreneur can find the knowledge and resources to start and grow a fashion brand and stay in Arizona.
