Please read all of the following information closely, and be sure to review guidelines for your specific discipline(s) in the Art Forms section of this website.

What to Expect

• Plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before your audition/review time (Architecture applicants: arrive at least an hour before your scheduled time). You will need to check in at the registration table. If you need additional time to warm up, please plan accordingly. GSA reserves the right to ask you to audition up to thirty minutes prior to your scheduled time. We do not want you to feel rushed, so please be prepared to audition up to thirty minutes prior to your scheduled audition time. It is also possible that auditions will run late.
• All applicants are required to bring a headshot of themselves to the audition/review. If applying in two disciplines, please bring two photos. Photographs do not need to be professional; a wallet-sized school photo is appropriate.
• You will be asked to fill out a short discipline-specific questionnaire which you will receive at the registration desk at your audition/review. You will then submit your questionnaire to the judges at the start of your audition/review. This one-page questionnaire is designed to give the judges an overview of your previous involvement in the arts, along with the level of your interest and commitment.
• No spectators will be allowed in the audition/review areas. This includes parents and teachers, who will be asked to wait in a seperate area. No exceptions will be made.
• If you or your family has any accessibility needs regarding the auditions or the audition sites, please contact GSA to make arrangements, 502-562-0192.
• Applicants will be notified of their audition/review results by mail in mid-April (postmarked from the GSA offices on Friday, April 13, 2012). See the Notification Process page for more. 
• Remember that adjudicators are excited to meet you and see your artistry at work. We want the audition/review process to be a fun and educational experience for you – be yourself!

Audition/Review Change Policy
GSA will not reschedule your audition/review for personal or social events. If you have an excusable reason to reschedule your audition, please call the GSA Helpline at 502.562.0192. The audition site does not in any way affect the results of your audition/review. While we hope you never have to do so, please notify GSA if you decide to cancel your audition at 502.562.0192.

If illness, emergency, or bad weather prevents your attendance at your scheduled audition, GSA will reschedule you for one of the remaining sites, if notified on or before the Tuesday following the missed audition. For those students scheduled for the Louisville audition site, no make-up will be possible.

In the event of bad weather, GSA makes every effort to hold auditions. If GSA is forced to cancel an audition site due to bad weather, auditions/reviews for that site will be rescheduled. Applicants may call the GSA Helpline at 502.562.0192 for the status of their audition site.
