History of The Forge

Going into our 2018 season, NoMads wanted to do something to return to the roots of NoMads.  In 2013 NoMads Art Collective was founded with an inaugural production, April Come She Will and an art gallery, hosted in the modest confines of a living room and was free for all attendees.  The goal of The Forge is to carry on that legacy while offering a home for multi-media collaboration and for new and under-produced work to be showcased.  Starting with the first Forge in February 2018, this has become a monthly staple for NoMads Art Collective.

Below is our retrospective of highlights from the history of The Forge, including all featured artists from every Forge event to date.
