Fine Arts Mentor Program
The KCD Fine Arts Mentor Program is a unique initiative at Kentucky Country Day School that seeks to pair young artists in grades 10 through 12 with a member of the KCD Fine Arts faculty member who will advise and mentor them through the process of audition preparation and portfolio building for summer development opportunities, the KY Governor’s School for the Arts and for college applications.
Fine Arts mentors work closely with the upper school college counseling team to help students pinpoint programs of interest, identify scholarship opportunities, understand program application requirements, and ultimately, build an impressive portfolio that supports a strong application to competitive programs.
As such, the program's mission is to actively
-
identify students who are considering careers in the arts
-
advise students appropriately when it comes to selecting US classes
-
inform students of the steps they should be taking in upper school to adequately prepare for a college application (GSA, portfolio building, summer programs, program-specific pre-screeing requirements).
If you are interested in learning more about the KCD Fine Arts Mentor program or would like to be paired with a faculty mentor, please email Sarah Stone, the Chair of KCD Fine Arts at sarah.stone@kcd.org.
