Jekyll Island Arts Association

Arts Association Activities

The Jekyll Island Arts Association (JIAA) is a non-profit organization of members interested in enjoying and promoting the arts: painting, sculpture, wood carving, music, drama, photography, pottery, weaving, needlework and ceramics. The Association has use of and maintains Goodyear Cottage in the Historic District, provides free to the public monthly exhibits in the gallery, and presents monthly programs on topics in varied artistic disciplines. The Association maintains and staffs a gift shop with the work of members displayed on consignment. The Association sponsors several interest groups, listed on this page. Special events include an annual 3-day Arts Festival in March, an annual dinner in May, a Chamber music weekend in the summer, summer children's programs and art classes in the winter.

Membership - Membership is open to anyone interested in the arts. You do not have to be a resident of the island.

Goodyear Cottage

Goodyear Cottage is open daily Monday-Friday from 12 noon to 4 pm and from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, except on holidays. Admission is free, but donations are accepted.

The Jekyll Island Singers

For those who love to sing, here is something for you. The group presents the annual Christmas program in December and performs at other events during the year. Jekyll Singers meet each Monday from 3:30 to 5 pm at the Methodist Church. There are no dues.

The Pottery Guild

The guild maintains a shop in the basement of Goodyear Cottage and recently opened an annex in the Jekyll Island shopping center. Members help newcomers learn wheel throwing, hand building, slab or sculpture work free of charge. The Guild participates in the Garden Club Bazaar, Tidelands Nature Festival, the Arts Festival and other events. The Guild meets at 10 am the second Wednesday of each month from September through June at 9 am in the pottery studio.

The Weaving Guild

The Guild is made up of members who are learning how to hand weave on floor looms. Members help newcomers learn to plan, warp the loom and weave projects. The weaving studio on the second floor of Goodyear is open Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 1 to 3 pm. All equipment is furnished.

The Woodcarvers

This group meets each Thursday from 1 to 3 pm in the kitchen of Goodyear. Members help newcomers with simple first projects. Wood blanks and knives are furnished.
