ADVOCATE
At GSA, we carefully cater our curriculum to hone students’ creativity and craft. There is an intense focus on developing skills within our own art form, but with such a diverse and strong faculty, we use this opportunity to collaborate between disciplines. We aim to create talented and well versed artists at all levels.”

LIVE IN RESIDENCE
CONNECT AND COLLABORATE THROUGH YOUR ART
“The residential side of GSA prepares students for life beyond the classroom. As young adults they have the unique opportunity to live among their artistic peers and learn from one another beyond what their studies can provide. They learn compassion, love, trust, understanding, and how to connect as human beings. It is a special experience that has the capacity to change lives.� − Liz Brandt, Head Residential Assistant GSA Alum 2010
“Regardless of whether I end up on the mainstage or in a courtroom fighting for artistic policy, my future will be partially owed to GSA.” —Katie Okumu, GSA Alum 2015
