Happy Friday, ARLISians,
Registration opens next week for tours in Pittsburgh! The 2024 POP! conference planners have assembled a range of exciting, immersive, and meaningful experiences and sites around the region.
Keep an eye on Sched (our conference planning app) in the coming days for more details on pricing,
capacity, and information on accompanying children.

Maxo Vanka Murals at St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church
Join a guided tour of the awe-inspiring
murals of Croatian artist Maxo Vanka at the historic St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church in Millvale. These striking
works were painted by Vanka in 1937 and 1941 to reflect the culture and lives of the working-class immigrant congregation.
The Ruins Project
Venture outside the city into nature to
The Ruins Project, an outdoor long-term collaborative mosaic art installation amidst the ruins
of a former coal mine in Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
Contemporary Craft
Engage your body and mind! Join this active tour of
Contemporary Craft and learn how to weave on a small, portable frame loom.
To help plan your travel and conference schedule, you can currently find all tour dates and times in Sched.
Please note: adding a tour to your Sched does not register you for that tour, and you will need to register separately through the links that will be provided on each description!
