About NOMA Gallery

NOMA Gallery's journey began as ArtCastle, nestled in the historic former Coca-Cola bottling plant in Ocala, FL. Born during the pandemic, ArtCastle became a beacon of creativity and resilience, offering a vibrant space for artistic expression amidst global uncertainty.

As we navigated these challenging times, NOMA Gallery embraced innovation by transitioning to a fully online platform, expanding our reach and creating a global collector base. This evolution has allowed us to connect art lovers from all corners of the world, showcasing the incredible talents of artists who might otherwise go unseen

At the heart of our mission is a deep commitment to fostering creativity and inspiring artists. We launched art competitions that not only bring fresh voices into our gallery but also introduce them to new collectors. Through these initiatives, we strive to empower artists, providing them with the visibility and support they need to thrive.

Looking ahead, NOMA envisions dynamic pop-up exhibitions that will bring art directly to communities, igniting dialogue and cultural exchange. Whether in bustling cities or remote areas, these events will celebrate the universal language of creativity, making art accessible to everyone.

NOMA Gallery is dedicated to spreading artists' work across the globe and ensuring that creativity knows no bounds. Through our digital platform and community-driven initiatives, we aim to democratize access to art and enrich lives.

Join us on this incredible journey as we continue to transform the art world, paving the way for a future where art transcends boundaries, captivates hearts, and inspires generations to come.

At NOMA Gallery, our mission in creating art competitions is to elevate and inspire artists to reach new heights in their creative journeys. We believe that pushing boundaries and encouraging artists to excel is essential for growth, both personally and professionally. As artists ourselves, we understand the challenges and the exhilaration that come with the creative process. That’s why we aim to foster an environment where artists feel empowered to continue creating, no matter how bold or unconventional their ideas may be.

We are deeply committed to supporting artists in their pursuit of growth, offering them opportunities to showcase their work and connect with a broader audience. Through our competitions, we give artists the platform to share their unique visions with the world, allowing them to evolve into the creators they aspire to be. Whether it’s a well-established artist or someone just starting, we value their passion and are here to nurture it.

At NOMA, we believe that artists thrive when they are supported by a community that understands their drive, their struggles, and their dreams. As a gallery run by artists for artists, we’re not just curating art — we’re curating a space for growth, expression, and inspiration. These competitions are one of the many ways we engage the art community, and our goal is to inspire artists to push themselves further while fostering meaningful connections within the art world.
