Our Story
Founded in 2015, Goodyear Arts emerged from a unique collaboration with a local developer who invited artists to activate a former Goodyear tire and oil change center in Uptown Charlotte. This initiative was an experiment to challenge the traditional arts landscape, leading to the establishment of a vibrant artist-run space. After a successful initial activation, GYA transitioned to its current location at Camp North End, where it continues to embrace risk and creativity. As a nomadic organization, Goodyear Arts thrives on change, fostering connections between artists and the public through intimate and experimental experiences.
