Nancy Kravetz: Color Forms the Day Opening Reception

With a career spanning seven decades, Nancy Kravetz will open her newest exhibition, “Nancy Kravetz: Color Forms the Day,” on April 3 at the ArtReach Space gallery inside Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.

Kravetz has continually explored how form and color can be organized to create meaning. Her early training focused on representational painting, beginning with landscapes and seascapes inspired by her New England upbringing. She refined her technical skills through formal study at the Sargent School of Painting, the Prize Program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and Simmons College.

In 1969, Kravetz’s artistic journey shifted decisively toward abstraction after meeting and working with the late Arizona-based artist Dorothy Fratt. This encounter led to a sustained exploration of nonrepresentational form, resulting in a prolific body of paintings and collages.

A public reception for “Nancy Kravetz: Color Forms the Day” will be held on Wednesday, April 15, at 5 p.m.
