NOVICA

21 Years of Happiness

Twenty-one years! It feels like only yesterday that we hatched our crazy plan to change the lives of global artisans. We had no idea that we were about to start a revolution by eliminating the middlemen and connecting artisans to customers directly.

But we found that empowered artisans and full transparency brought a lot of joy to the making and selling of handmade art. It was simple. Happy Artisans = Happy Customers. Or is it the other way around? Happy Customers = Happy Artisans. Most days we can’t remember which it is - we just know it works.

Today, we look back at our humble beginnings, our big dreams, and our incredible journey, and we realize that we have YOU to thank for how far we’ve come and how happy we all are.

To celebrate you on our momentous birthday, here's a code you can use to save $10 on your next order.

Artists from the very beginning...

A spotlight on some of the incredible makers who have been with us from the beginning

Ney Cardoso | Brazil

"I’m very fortunate to have joined Novica at the beginning. At first, it seemed too good to be true. Suddenly buyers from all over the United States and Europe were getting my work and I was paid with no commissions deducted. I still remember Fabio Nercessian’s excitement when he called me each time I sold a painting and told me where my works were going. I wrote it down in a date book I still have and pinpointed the cities on a map.

My neighbors were astonished when a journalist came from the U.S. to interview me as though I were a celebrity. With the income from my sales, I was the first in my neighborhood to buy a computer. I was able to add on to my house, renovate it and install a complete kitchen for my wife with a new fridge. But more important to me is the deep respect Novica has for the artists. They are special people with a great heart."

Ana Maria Enciso | The Andes

"I've been part of the Novica family for 19 years. There is no more success for me than to see how my culture and my pre-Hispanic replicas are valued and appreciated with love in other parts of the world. Novica has accompanied me in my most difficult moments. They are part of my life and I would like this to continue for a long time."

M. Ayub | India

"Although working in carved walnut wood is my family tradition, I was in the initial stage of my life when I joined Novica in 2000. You stood with me in my difficult moments. Due to political unrest in Kashmir, there are not many tourists and this affects our local sales. With the constant income I get from Novica sales, my life has become more stable and comfortable. My children are able to get a good education because of these earnings. My work has progressed and I am living a comfortable life now. I am what I am today because of Novica."

Bharti Dayal | India

"My association with Novica dates back to the very first day Novica started its operation in India. We were in the same building and Novica was in the opposite flat. Out of curiosity, I went to check out what they were into and, when I heard about their mission, I was ecstatic. I met Armenia, the company president and, when I told them I was an artist, they were as excited as I was.

Novica has been supportive in every way. I won a national award and was also featured on Ted Talks on the philosophy of Madhubani art. I represented India in Madhubani art at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris in 2016, did the largest painting of Radha and Krishna for the Belgian Museum. My work has also been shown in many national and international exhibitions. I’m so glad to be part of this global family. By promoting handcrafted art, Novica is helping to preserve nature and bring the world together in love, kindness and co-existence. We need this now, more than ever."

Nyoman Subrata | Bali

"I feel happy and proud because, if I’m not mistaken, I’m the first wood-carving artisan to join Novica in Bali. Being a Novica artisan has had a big impact on me, and many customers know my name and my skills, and compliment my work. I want to keep making wonderful sculptures and present them to people all over the world."
