Abstract: Let $N$ be a closed nonorientable surface with or without marked points. In this paper we prove that, for every finite full subgraph $Gamma$ of $mathcal{C}^{mathrmtwo}(N)$, the right-angled Artin group on $Gamma$ can be embedded in the mapping class group of $N$. Here, $mathcal{C}^{mathrmtwo}(N)$ is the subgraph, induced by essential two-sided simple closed curves in $N$, of the ordinal curve graph $mathcalC(N)$. In addition, we show that there exists a finite graph $Gamma$ which is not a full subgraph of $mathcal{C}^{mathrmtwo}(N)$ for some $N$, but the right-angled Artin group on $Gamma$ can be embedded in the mapping class group of $N$.
