One of the local leaders for the NCECA conference says Cincinnati blew ‘em away.

Pam Kravetz is fun, effervescent, vivacious. Take your pick of how to describe the Cincinnati artist and suburban high school art teacher. They all fit. She's so fun, in fact, that her family and friends held a parade in Over-the-Rhine for her 60th birthday last weekend. A few hundred people, including a who's who from the local arts and entertainment scene, converged on Washington Park wearing colorful outfits and hats to honor a woman who regularly wears go-go boots, tutus and sequins. How did Kravetz go from an artsy outcast as a kid to being the life of the party and influencer on the local arts and entertainment scene? The Cincinnati native told her story on The Enquirer's "That's So Cincinnati" podcast this week. "When I was little, I was that kid who never fit in," Kravetz said. "Even in kindergarten – this was the '60s – I got sent to the principal's office for wearing go-go boots and a mini-skirt." Kravetz credits her elementary and high school teachers for encouraging her to embrace her passion for art. It ended up inspiring her to pursue her own career as an art teacher. She is retiring this week as Harrison High School's art teacher after a 30-year career.  Her experiences at the University of Cincinnati helped Kravetz to begin to accept that being different is OK. Said Kravetz: "I was an art kid, so we wore all black. We were kind of angsty and cool. And then I was a sorority girl. I was also the Bearcat mascot. I was all of these weird parts of a human that didn't quite fit together. But all of that speaks to the person I've become because now I'm super comfortable talking in front of people and being the center of attention."Kravetz's life has continued to be full of unique opportunities. The Enquirer once featured her and her art work, and that led to her getting a date with the man who's now her husband. Her friends nicknamed her the "Queen of Love" for how she met her husband, Craig Davis.  In addition to being heavily involved in the arts scene, Kravetz has also been on a synchronized swimming team for several years at Ziegler Park in Over-the-Rhine. Her advice for those who might be struggling to embrace their passion, talent and personality. "Loving yourself is huge," Kravetz said.

We’re back for Season 4! In episode #31, I talk to Pam Kravetz, an Artist and Art Educator with a penchant for "tutus, big wigs, and faux furs.” She’s done everything from performative art and yarn bombing to teaching children and radical puppetry. We chat about how she found her voice as an artist, the importance of connecting with people through public art, and earning two college varsity letters as the University of Cincinnati Bearcat mascot(!) We also discussed: - Celebrating what you’re good at, and pushing yourself in areas you’re not - How volunteering as a docent helped her realize she enjoyed talking about and teaching art - Why teaching has made her a better artist and vice versa - The need to say something different with her work in today’s political climate - Letting go of the idea of perfection Visit: pamkravetzart.com Pam Kravetz on Facebook @pamkravetz on Instagram  artworkscincinnati.org brazeestreetstudios.com www.pendletonartcenter.com thestylesample on Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat Head to CreativeCityPodcast.com for links and previous episodes, and sign up for the mailing list to keep up with Cincinnati’s amazing community of creatives.
