12 McCracken County High School students to participate in 2024 Governor’s School for the Arts
MCCRACKEN COUNTY, Ky. (KBSI) – Several McCracken County High School students were selected as participants in the 2024 Governor’s School for the Arts (GSA).
Lauren Bogaczyk (Visual Art), Nova Carter (Design), Ian Cunningham (Instrumental Music), Anna Farris (Drama), Delaney Green (Visual Art), Kaitlyn Kinser (Visual Art), Amelie Lundberg (Visual Art), Jack Nelson (Musical Theatre), Jaya Nesler (Drama), Emily Schlei (Vocal Music), Logan Sullivan (Vocal Music), and Miranda Tovar (Vocal Music) were selected.
The MCHS students designated as alternates for Governor’s Schools for the Arts include Eden Neihoff (Drama), Sofia Rinella (Film and Photography), and Makenzie Wilcher (Film and Photography).
Every summer, GSA faculty of professional artists and educators guide more than 500 of Kentucky’s finest young artists through three weeks of intense (and fun) arts instruction.
The students live, breathe, eat and sleep the arts for three weeks.
They meet new friends, explore their creativity, and discover new things about who they are and who they can be in the future.
GSA auditions & reviews Kentucky’s most promising high school sophomores and juniors in nine different arts disciplines: Creative Writing, Dance, Design (formerly known as Architecture + Design), Drama, Film + Photography, Instrumental Music, Musical Theatre, Visual Art and Vocal Music.
GSA historically took place over the course of three weeks in late June and early July. However, beginning in 2022, two separate three-week sessions, in the last three weeks of June and the last three weeks of July, are now offered.
GSA is an arts education program of The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts.
It is offered at no cost to the student and made available through funding from the state, as well as private fundraising. The value of GSA is more than $4,000 per student.
