THE KENTUCKY CENTER GOVERNOR’S SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS
Class of 2012 has been notified!
The roster for The Kentucky Center Governor’s School for the Arts Class of 2012 has been finalized. GSA’s Summer Program – a three week residential arts conservatory for Gifted and Talented high school juniors and seniors - is the only one of its kind in the state. Students are chosen through a highly competitive audition and review process. Out of close to 1800 applicants, 225 have been chosen to attend the program based at Transylvania University (Lexington).
The 2012 Summer Program runs June 17 – July 7. Students receive in-depth instruction in one of nine artistic disciplines: architecture, creative writing, dance, drama, instrumental music, musical theatre, new media, visual art, and vocal music. The life-changing GSA experience also includes:
- FREE tuition, room and board
- Opportunities to learn in a supportive community of distinguished master-teachers.
- College preparation, career counseling, and the chance to meet college representatives during an exclusive GSA college fair.
- Arts-related community service opportunities.
- The excitement of performing/exhibiting at the Student Performance Festival at the conclusion of the program.
- Serious fun!
Students are immersed in a rigorous schedule of daily seminars, master classes, lectures, hands-on workshops and field trips. While each student specializes in one art form, all students participate in structured, interdisciplinary arts experiences designed to familiarize them with the joys and challenges of specialties other than their own. Upon completion of the summer program, students become part of the GSA alumni network, gaining entry to a variety of alumni opportunities, including specific GSA scholarships at regional colleges and universities.
