Torrance Art Museum is preparing for NOMAD V, a three-day pop-up exhibition that will return August 7–9, 2026, at Del Amo Crossing.

The museum describes NOMAD as a community-focused event, and this year’s location at 21535 Hawthorne Boulevard gives the exhibition a highly visible setting in one of Torrance’s busiest commercial corridors. Applications are now being accepted, creating an opportunity for artists to participate in a short-run exhibition that reaches beyond a traditional gallery visit.

For residents, NOMAD V is worth watching because it reflects one of Torrance’s underappreciated strengths: the city has a serious

 contemporary art presence, but it also keeps finding ways to make art feel accessible, public, and connected to everyday spaces.

As August approaches, this could become one of the more interesting local culture events on the calendar — especially for residents who enjoy discovering art outside the usual museum format.
