The Nomura Art Prize is run by Tokyo University of the Arts (Tokyo Geijutsu Daigaku) to assist in its purchase of excellent works of art produced by its graduate students and to preserve them in the university's museum.
The prize aims to promote the fine arts in Japan and support young artists by collecting, preserving, and exhibiting their works. Nomura Foundation provides the funding for this activity.

Since 2017, Nomura has supported the Tokyo Marathon as an official "VOLUNTAINER" volunteer team. With the desire to support Japan's largest citizen's marathon and runners, many employees are involved in various activities every year, such as water supply and luggage management for runners, presentation of finisher medals, and interpreting.

Nomura and the Nomura America Foundation have been proud supporters of Carnegie Hall since 2010. Through investing in the arts, Nomura is committed in supporting both internationally renowned and emerging Japanese artists, creating opportunities to share and celebrate unique artistic perspectives, and enriching our local communities.
In 2023, Nomura was proud to sponsor a performance by pianist Mitsuko Uchida.
