Coming from across the Commonwealth, Kentucky’s most talented, creative high school students will gather for three weeks this summer to learn and grow together at the Governor’s School for the Arts.

During their June 21-July 11 stay at Transylvania University, these rising juniors and seniors will be immersed in interdisciplinary seminars, hands-on workshops and field trips. They will also receive in-depth instruction in one of nine artistic disciplines: architecture, creative writing, dance, drama, instrumental music, musical theater, new media, visual art or vocal music.

More 1,600 students audition for the program each year, and about 225 students are selected. The honor includes full tuition, room and board; the opportunity to learn in a supportive community of distinguished master-teachers; the chance to audition for scholarships before the nation’s top colleges and universities; the excitement of performing at the conclusion of the program; and serious fun!

Congratulations to this year’s 35 participants from Fayette County Public Schools.
