Governor's School for the Arts 

Every summer for the past twenty-five years, the KY Governor's School for the Arts and their faculty of professional artist/educators have guided over two hundred of Kentucky's finest young artists through three weeks of incredibly intense (and incredibly fun) arts instruction.  GSA auditions promising high school sophomores and juniors in nine different arts disciplines: Architecture, Creative Writing, Dance, Drama, Instrumental Music, Musical Theatre, New Media, Visual Art and Vocal Music.

 

For three solid weeks, the students live, breathe, eat and sleep the arts. It's a thrilling, often life-changing experience, as they meet new friends, explore their creativity, and discover new things about who they are and who they can be in the future.

 

Graduates of the summer program are eligible for a host of scholarships and educational opportunities in all fields of study.   Congratulations to the following students from Boone County Schools who have been accepted into the 2013 Summer Program:
