About The Show
The New Pittsburgh Exposition Podcast introduces you to regional art and history exhibits, cultural institutions, attractions and more by taking you behind the scenes, to meet the people responsible for bringing them to fruition in Pittsburgh. We’ll interview creators, historians, artists, museum staff, volunteers, and more. We hope the podcast gives you a new appreciation for the many treasures based in Western Pennsylvania (and maybe even inspire you do some creating yourself!).
Maxo Vanka (1889 – 1963), a Croatian immigrant and renowned artist has created his “Gift to America” to the Pittsburgh region, an entire sanctuary, the Saint Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church in Millvale, covered in dynamic murals depicting powerful messages of workers’ struggle, war, capitalism, and yes, even religious murals.
