Artist Application

Art of NOMA was founded by Josh Stein and Carlos Algara, two lifelong art enthusiasts who came together with a shared vision: to create a digital platform that celebrates the work of emerging artists with bold, original voices. Disenchanted with existing art marketplaces that felt too curated or disconnected from their personal tastes, Josh and Carlos decided to build something new—something rooted in authenticity, accessibility, and genuine passion for contemporary art.

For them, Art of NOMA isn't just a marketplace—it's a movement toward democratizing the art world. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your journey into the visual arts, Art of NOMA is designed to make you feel welcome. The platform offers everything from one-of-a-kind oil paintings to museum-quality prints, each selected to help individuals create spaces that reflect their unique identity. At its core, Art of NOMA is about more than just art sales—it's about community, taste, and making creativity available to all.
