Summer Arts Academy provides opportunities for students in the region

Morehead State University hosted nearly 60 students from Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana for its Summer Arts Academy (SAA) held June 9-15.  

The Academy consisted of six full days of activities, including individual and group instruction in a chosen area of music, theatre, and art and design.  

Evening activities included performances/presentations by MSU's School of Music, Theatre and Dance faculty, an "art hop" night showcasing works of faculty and SAA art and design students, a bowling night and other evening activities taught by SAA faculty specific to the student's area of interest. 

"What made this a unique experience was the focus on the individual having specific study in their medium (music, theatre, and art and design) several hours a day with faculty," said Greg Wing, Summer Arts Academy director. "Participants had an opportunity to improve their skills in each area and interact with other students."   

The Summer Arts Academy receives support from the Caudill College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and the School of Creative Arts (Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance and Department of Art and Design).
