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.

Figuring Drawing with Live 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!
