NOMA Gallery’s story began as ArtCastle, a creative sanctuary housed in the historic Coca-Cola bottling plant in Ocala, FL. Born during the pandemic, ArtCastle quickly became a beacon of resilience and artistic expression, offering hope and inspiration during uncertain times.
In the face of global challenges, NOMA Gallery evolved, transitioning to a fully online platform. This shift has expanded our reach, enabling us to connect with a global community of art lovers and collectors while providing a platform for incredible artists who might otherwise remain undiscovered.
