Past Exhibitions

This September, NOMA Gallery invites artists to explore PORTALS — gateways, thresholds, transitions, and the spaces between worlds. A portal can be literal or symbolic: a doorway, a dream, a memory, a moment of transformation, an emotional shift, a spiritual passage, or an imagined realm waiting to be entered.

Winners to be announced

This August, we invite artists from around the world to submit work in any subject, any style, and any medium. The Open Theme exhibition celebrates pure creative freedom — your voice, your vision, your interpretation. Whether your work is figurative, abstract, surreal, conceptual, digital, sculptural, or photographic, this is your space to show what you do best.

This July, we invite artists to explore the world of symbols, meaning, and hidden language in art. From ancient icons and cultural motifs to personal metaphors and visual storytelling, symbolism allows us to communicate what cannot be spoken. Show us how you embed meaning, narrative, and depth into your work through shapes, signs, imagery, and intention.

This June, we invite artists to explore the power, emotion, and magic of light. From soft glows and dramatic highlights to reflections, refractions, neon, shadow play, and celestial brilliance — light shapes how we see the world and how art comes alive. Show us how you capture luminosity, whether literal or symbolic.

This May, we invite artists to explore the intricate rhythms and repeating structures found throughout the natural world. From spirals and fractals to waves, seasons, and organic symmetry, nature is full of patterns that connect us to something larger. Show us how you interpret these designs — literal, abstract, symbolic, or conceptual.

Myth & Legend is now live at NOMA Gallery — a powerful online exhibition filled with works inspired by ancient stories, timeless symbols, and the imagination of artists from around the world.

This March, we invite artists to explore change, growth, and rebirth. Transformation and metamorphosis are central to the human and natural experience — from caterpillar to butterfly, from struggle to renewal, from abstract form to realized vision.

This February, NOMA Gallery celebrates the expressive power of color and the emotions it evokes. How does your palette capture feeling? Does a single hue convey peace, passion, or sorrow? From vibrant explosions to quiet monochromes, this is your chance to showcase how color becomes emotion on canvas, in sculpture, or any medium you choose.
