Chyro frequently asked questions

Chyro Arts Venue is a 100% volunteer effort. The founders and volunteers all work full-time jobs, then come to work all week at the venue because they love the arts and love the people who create and enjoy them.

All proceeds from ticket sales and donations go toward keeping the doors open and providing a space for Metro Phoenix and her visitors to hang out and enjoy art. Chyro is a 501c3 non-profit company. Donations are gladly accepted, and are tax-deductible.

Can I bring my kids?
Always check the calendar before buying tickets. Most performances are safe for children, but bands can often be quite loud, and some other performances can have adult material. On the other hand, we frequently offer children's programming as well. Check the calendar!

What does "Chyro" mean?
The name comes from the Greek letters X and P, which form a religious symbol known as (drumroll!) the chi-rho, pronounced "kyro," like the city in Egypt. Chyro Arts is not a religious organization; the name represents a worldview the founders subscribe to in which all people are welcome, are to be loved, and treated as such.

Do you serve drinks?
We provide coffee, teas, soda, and water by donation. We do not serve alcohol. We do, however, recommend our neighbor, the British Open Pub, for food and drinks before or after a Chyro show.

We also have a great selection of hot and iced espresso coffee drinks, with varying availability.
