Our Story
We all start somewhere, the important thing is that we try. Learn to create and tell your story!
Spark Your Light
Our emerging band of adventurers have joined together through the coincidence perceived in life and the choices we’ve made along the journey we’ve walked so far.
We compel the creation of this Community Publishing Group to rally you to a grand spark of light with an understanding, one you may have already. The understanding that we are not alone in this world in our efforts to make it brighter for all.
We (you too) have strived through traumas thanks to feeling this idea before we even understood it, but it goes deeper than that for us, as it likely does for you. Our story, in short, is to help you discover whatever being a creator means to you - and showing you others who walk down similar roads so you can know you are not alone, too.

A little about our Team
Pending group picture of team.
Our team is headed by Nicholas, a survivor of Chronic Kidney Disease and polymath who connects many of the threads together, but is far from alone in doing so. Kat hails from the Midwest with a penchant for animals, design work, and a good emo song. She educates herself at PSU for her Masters alongside taking the next steps in her own artistic quest.
The team is rounded by Peter who also creates light garnered through their lived medical and mental trauma; however, having lived all over, they also provide a diverse perspective that strengthens our ability to connect. Jeremy is our final team member, and he engages with the community using his charisma and passion for people and their power as a trained actor.
Our team stayed connected in and following the wake of Covid-19 through the stories we told around the digital table and the medium of tabletop games. As a response to the fear of choice, we elect ourselves to create this hybrid commune of creators of and for creators. To grow this family, and community larger with our shared understanding that no matter what story we are told about the truth of the world - we are not alone in our idea to make the place we live better.
Pantheon Arts Community Storytelling readies itself as a place of agency, nomadic in events, and hybrid in presence, as we understand that not everyone communes the same way. We muster engagement, and embolden people through our brighter experiences, but also as a service of networking to aid local artists and storytellers alike to not only ignite with their own passions of light, but discover their ideal selves. In short, we are a network of networks that also publishes local talents.
“We’ve been playing games since humanity had civilization - there is something primal about our desire and our ability to play games. It’s so deep-seated that it can bypass latter-day cultural norms and biases.”
