The Beginning

Hello all,

The New Year has begun and as a result the new ideas are flowing. My name is Rebecca and I will be one of many representing the Venue of Merging Arts or (V.O.M.A.) in these posts. I'd like to give a little history and catch you up if I could. The church building that V.O.M.A now works out of was purchased last December by a lovely couple, Denny & Janet Mical in Johnstown. Their goal was to start a non-profit arts organization with their two sons Adam & T.K. Mundok along with his wife Rebecca - me. Plans were set, mission statements finalized, Boards formed and suddenly a year had passed already. So now we are here in 2010 with our heads turned a bit more in the right direction, walking side by side with one another and attempting to launch a huge project in a short amount of time. I volunteered to blog those attempts as honestly as I can. You all get to sit back and read our journey, our adventures and hopefully your positive energy will be felt and we will be successful!

So, first things first - Our Mission is to rescue a historically significant former church building by transforming it into a unique venue in which various forms of artistic expression can merge together to promote, educate, entertain, and involve the community in the arts.



We want to Bring It! We want to Provide It! We want you to Want It!
And "It" is contemporary arts of all forms!

So wish us well and stay tuned for our upcoming events. More tomorrow.
