Folk art

We feature folk art from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Mexican Day of the Dead folk art is featured year round. We work with many world renowned and unknown artisans and individuals from around the world. You'll find Masks, carvings, retablos, and home furnishings from recycled and re purposed materials. We also carry a substantial number of pieces from renowned Mexican papier-mache artist Joel Garcia. Our collection is always fun and fresh!

We have resplendent array of Holiday gifts… Nativities from around the world, Chanukah decorations, candles and home goods.

Joel Garcia magically transforms flour, water and newsprint into fantastical dragons and figurines. Below is a sample of pieces we are currently carrying at NOMAD. Call or stop by for more details.

"El Dia de los Muertos on November 2nd is an important religious holiday in Mexico. Also called All Souls Day, it is an occasion marked by festive celebrations to honor the dead. Cemeteries are cleaned and decorated, special food and candies cooked, and home altars are designed in homage to one's ancestors. It is a day of joyous remembrance, not of sadness. The special songs, poems, foods and toys created for El Dia de los Muertos reflect this outlook." - Tesoros

This is one of our favorite holidays and cultural traditions! Come discover this fun and festive occasion for yourself! From mid-October to November 2nd we'll have our shrine and large collection of authentic Dia de los Muertos folk art on display.

NOMAD has everything you need for your own celebration…masks, photo frames, sugar skull molds, paper cut-outs, skeletons of every size, and Day of the Dead books.
