Murals of Maxo Vanka, Millvale

Volunteer-managed and operating on a small budget, The Society to Preserve the Millvale Murals of Maxo Vanka (SPMMMV) was incorporated in 1991 as an independent 501(c)(3) organization with the mission to raise awareness and educate the public about the murals and their significance to Pittsburgh’s history, and their depiction of America’s immigrant experience.

The Society is dedicated to preserving the murals painted on the walls of St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church in Millvale, Pennsylvania by Croatian artist, Maxo Vanka, for generations to come. Because of the Society’s efforts, the murals have received historical designations by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation and the National Register of Historic Places. Additional attention has been paid through the production of the play, Gift to America, and the willingness of volunteer docents to respond to the request for tours.
