The Torrance Art Museum (TAM) hosted NOMAD at the end summer of 2021. It has become an annual event. From the initial announcement:
"With vaccinations progressing so well in California, and the opening up of events becoming a reality, we are looking at presenting an opportunity to regroup…
NOMAD will be a one-weekend-only pop-up event for artists, by artists, to reforge our connections to each other in real life and to make new friends. It is for our audiences to once again commune with us through our practices. It is for curators and gallerists to catch up with what we have been doing in our studios over this isolating past year. We will come together to witness the power and value of engaging with art in person!
NOMAD will feature about 500 artists in 87,000 sq ft of space in a mid-century modern building in Torrance!!!"
