Mercy Peterson accepted to Governor's School for the Arts Adair County High School junior Mercy Peterson, the daughter of Eric and Caroline Peterson of Columbia, has been accepted to the Governor's School for the Arts (GSA) for summer 2024. This year's program will be held in two sessions this summer at the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington. Peterson's discipline at GSA this summer will be "Film + Photography." She says, "I love portraying emotions and being able to preserve stories through film and photography. I enjoy being behind the camera and expressing my feeling through digital art." For the last two years, Peterson has taken classes with Mrs. Cayce Davenport, Art Teacher at Adair County High School. Mrs. Davenport says, "It's been my pleasure to have Mercy in my art classes. She's an incredibly gifted young lady with a heart to create and an understanding of her purpose on this earth." During the three-week GSA program, student artists engage in studies from nine art disciplines: Creative Writing, Dance, Design, Drama, Film + Photography, Instrumental Music, Musical Theatre, Visual Art and Vocal Music. Admission is competitive, and limited to 500 students total. This means that on average, fewer than 60 students per discipline are accepted statewide. Most universities in the state of Kentucky, and several in other states, offer scholarships to GSA alumni. After high school, Mercy wants to pursue an internship in film production. She says, "I am interested in studying production design in college. I am undecided about where I will go, but I know that my opportunity with GSA will open many doors for my future." Mrs. Davenport says, "Having a maker's mindset isn't the only necessity to make a career as an artist. Mercy also values feedback in order to best edit or redirect a vision. Taking the time to step back, reflect, and reassess artistic and crafting decisions is an important step in the creative process that Mercy inherently understands. No matter the material working with, Mercy will approach it with an eye for both form and function in mind." About the Kentucky Governor's School for the Arts: GSA is a public/private partnership inaugurated in 1987 by The Kentucky Center, the Commonwealth of Kentucky and numerous private supporters. Today, the vital funding required to make GSA a reality is provided by the state through the leadership of the Governor's Office, the General Assembly, and the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, as well as The Kentucky Center Endowment Fund, David F. Young and Cheryl Cahill, Toyota Motor Manufacturing and more than 300 corporations, parents, educators, alumni and friends of GSA. This story was posted on 2024-04-27 10:52:23
