Nanette Carter Artist & Professor Pratt Institute Nanette Carter was born in Columbus, Ohio, 1954, is an American mixed media artist who works, primarily, with oils on frosted Mylar – which is a thin sheet of plastic. She considers herself to be a “Scapeologist” a term invented for herself. Her abstractions make allusion to different “scapes”: land, sea, sky, under water and outer space paying homage to the mysteries of nature and human nature. She describes herself as a “chronicler of our time” turned the “reality” in to an abstract form, line, color and texture. Her work has been featured recently at Gallery Ami Kanoko, Osaka, Japan; National Museum of Fine Arts, Havana, Cuba and Alessandro Berni Gallery, Perugia, Italy. Most recently, Nanette Carter’s work was exhibited in “Cut: Abstraction in the United States from the 1970s to the Present” at the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum, Miami, FL. She has been awarded several grants including The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, The Jerome Foundation and New York Foundation for the Arts. Carter currently works and lives in New York City, where she is a tenured Associate Adjunct Professor of art at Pratt Institute. Donate Now Since 1988

About The Emergency Arts Education Fund When a child loses access to the arts, it's an emergency. The Emergency Arts Education Fund was formed in response to continued DOE budget cuts (-$200M in FY23) and the decimation of art classes in local schools. Children’s Museum of the Arts believes the ongoing insecurity of arts education is a public health and creativity crisis deserving of immediate assistance. The Emergency Arts Education Fund is an intentional expansion of CMA’s In-School Residency Program. For over 15 years, CMA has brought local artists to lead high-quality arts education curricula at low-income schools with dire need. Entirely free. CMA provides all necessary art materials to each school and develops a catered curriculum representative of the vibrant neighborhoods and cultures in the communities where our schools reside. About the Ambassador Program Ambassadors take an active role in promoting the utterly ambitious work our Resident Artists are doing in New York City classrooms. They receive behind-the-scenes access to the work of our Resident Artists at our three partner sites — Children’s Workshop School in the East Village, Sid Miller Academy in Crown Heights, and Hudson Guild in Chelsea — as well as digital tools to share their advocacy all year long.
