LOUISVILLE — The 2025 Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts program concluded July 26, with a class that represented more than half of the Commonwealth’s 120 counties. Growing from 256 students to more than 500 students, the tuition-free program took place during two consecutive three-week sessions (Session 1: June 8 – June 28; Session 2: July 6 – July 26) with students divided into each. Both sessions were hosted at The University of Kentucky.
