About >> ArtEntity

Who We Are

ArtEntity is a not-for-profit collective providing outlets for creative works that are being lost in the milieu of modern media either because of the artist's marginalization, lack of market leverage, or loss of interest in the mainstream.

What We Do and How We Do It

We work to increase both the absolute quantity of art in the world, and the amount of time the public spends with art of all kinds.

Among other projects, we are currently offering free online gallery space for literary, visual and audible art, and are looking forward to opening a physical space. We also constantly seek funding and submissions for other endeavors.

We have become skilled in a wide variety of things. As artists working together, we are interested in performing these services for a global community of other artists in exchange for the expert services they can offer us.

All artists involved with ArtEntity retain their own copyrights, and may republish and reuse their pieces freely. We request permission from each artist any time we wish to collect or reuse their piece. We encourage Mindful Distribution, and the frequent giving of Love Offerings.

We are committed to exploring unconventional means for distribution and support of our artworks, and welcome suggestions.

Where We Came From

Jon , Dan , and Paul went to college together. They have a long standing collaborative relationship, and have spent the better part of that relationship talking about how to build community around art. Then they met Corkland and Water. Corkland drew the image that became our logo. His passion lit a fire under them. Water, with their trance-inducing music and unconventional story, challenged them to take a risk. Together, along with many others, we are all forming the formless.

Dan Gudgel earned a B.A. in Theatre, then went on to Nottingham-Trent University for an M.A. in Creative Writing. Almost all of his writing is available on Vinylpuma.com. He makes pictures and music, too.

Jon Klein earned a B.A. in Biology with a minor in Theatre Arts. He has worked in wildlife sanctuaries, children's theatre, and website design. He is currently working on his Master's Degree in Education. Check out his music or his narrative drawings & visual art.

Paul Gaffney holds a B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Music. In spring of 2004, he completed his Master of Divinity degree at San Francisco Theological Seminary. Paul works as an interfaith chaplain, is a Zen practitioner and a candidate for ordination in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Listen to his beautiful music.
