Kentuck Knob

The mention of world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the Johnstown, PA region will, more often than not, immediately bring to mind Fallingwater, the masterpiece located near Ohiopyle that exemplifies creating a structure that is one with its natural surroundings. Another dwelling designed by Mr. Wright can be found in near proximity. Known as Kentuck Knob, this home employs a less ostentatious approach to design, but succeeds in being an architectural gem in its own right.
Venue of Merging Arts (VOMA)

What began with the goal of saving a church in Johnstown, PA, now stands poised to become one of the city’s cornerstone cultural landmarks. Located in historic Cambria City, the Venue of Merging Arts (VOMA) is the outcome of efforts by city natives Adam and T.K. Mundok.
The structure that formerly held St. George’s Serbian Orthodox Church is being transformed into a facility that is part gallery, part performance space, part education center. “We wanted to find a way to repurpose this magnificent structure,” says Adam. “The goal is to bring it back to the public.”
