Our Why
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.
-Mel Fiorentino, Owner of NOMA Gallery
