Goodyear Arts is a program that sets up shop in underused buildings and offers artists residencies for two months. In addition to the studio space, the artists are paid a stipend. The artists’ work often extends to alteration of the building itself.
At the end of the residencies, Goodyear Arts hosts a celebration where the public can see the artists’ work. In addition, the events often include music and dance.
Goodyear Arts is at Camp North End. The official address of Goodyear Arts is 1720 Statesville Avenue, but you’d do just as well plugging 1824 Statesville Avenue, Camp North End’s address, into your phone. The best place to park is “The Mount” parking lot. Just follow the signs.
Goodyear Arts hosts other art and music events as well.
Upcoming Events at Goodyear Arts
Way Out Open Mic
Wednesday, December 3, 2025
6:45 a.m.
Free
Doors at 6:30 p.m. Sign-ups at 6:45 p.m. Performances start at 7 p.m. Some performances might feature age 18+ content.
WAY OUT OPEN MIC is an experimental open mic for musicians, actors, dancers, poets, and performers of all skill levels interested in forward-thinking, alternative, and avant-garde performance. This ongoing series encourages local performers to challenge themselves, and provides a safe space for experimental work, ideas, and practice.
Some examples of the type of work encouraged are, but not limited to: noise music, radical or political poetry, and unfinished or improvised performance works. Original work is encouraged, but not necessary. Works-in-progress are also encouraged. WAY OUT OPEN MIC encourages and celebrates art and performance made by humans, first and foremost.

WAVELENGTHS: Celine and Julie Go Boating (film)

A daydreaming librarian and hapless magician team up in Jacques Rivette’s cult classic — a time warping adventure that involves a haunted house, psychotropic candy, and a bewitching murder mystery. This female buddy film is one of the all-time-great hangout comedies, as well as a celebration of the endless pleasures and possibilities of stories.
Figuring Drawing with Live Model
Saturday, December 20, 2025
11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Free (but please tip the model)
Goodyear Arts hosts figure drawing sessions on the third Saturday of the month, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., just before open gallery hours.
The model is typically nude, and their poses range from one-minute to longer 20-30 minute sits. We offer these sessions for free, but tipping the model is encouraged! Artists may bring anything they’d like to use to draw with as long as it isn’t aerosol or oil paint, and there is plenty of seating, tables, and some rudimentary easels to share!
