Pantheon Arts Nexus
Connection and Engagement because we each Commune differently.
What is the PAN Commune?
The Pantheon Arts Nexus, or PAN Commune is a hybrid gathering of individual artists and creators, businesses and organizations, as well as networks who have optionally joined our shared spaces both in person and digitally.
Our Discord is our Digital Nexus and ready to allow entry with safety, connection, and engagement in mind!
The Commune is nomadic with in-person and hybridized events ranging from activities like writing workshops, to pop-up art galleries, to recreational events that refresh our connection to Mother Earth, too. In all these ways we discover avenues to support our community in person and online. Whether Art and Culture, Tabletop Games and Recreation in Nature, or Science and Inquiry, we seek to support each in the Nexus!
The Nexus is meant to be a roving network that moves about the city, the idea is for it to search for you as much as your search for it - inclusivity being one of our core values, we seek other avenues (literally and metaphorically) to bring forth these sparks.
Pan, in Greek Mythology
Pan was said to be the God of the wild, who existed as a champion of the light of song, but also the more salacious parts of Spring. His temples did not subside within churches, but in the fields and high mountains on which He roamed.
And He would roam far to these places and bless the fields with song and revelry, and all that is one with His name’s root, as a guardian in his own right. The name Pan, is even composed of the words “ComPANion” and “guardian” from various languages that compose it.

Believe in Wonder Publishing
Our version of Pan, is similar, but the flocks He tends are the artists and creatives that pray to the Eternal Spring of Light. He chooses to be a Prosocial Newposter of sorts, a Creative Crier, a Rapscallion Reporter of the Rupturing Light of the Worlds He visits - projecting His light and others’ into the fields He roams as an adventurer who tends stories from His Nexus, creating heroes with the stories He shares.
A Satyr of many hats and ways. This allows Him to have intimate knowledge of many worlds and people to tell their stories correctly, so He is a natural explorer, too, moving in and about the portals between these places to bring inspiration and merriment to His fellow Lightbringers, and serve as a scapegoat to the tyrants He faces down for those He has no bonds to.
Art and Culture, Collaborative Storytelling and Recreation in Nature, and Science and Inquiry are the core focuses of the Nexus’ Programming.
Pantheon Arts Nexus (PAN) Commune Events!
We have lots of ideas and want to do them all with y’all, but it in order to do that, we’ll need Sparktenders to help build them out and facilitate them with us!
As long as the events and programming we build are focused on the topics above, we can pursue them under the banner of the Nexus, and invite you to join in the revelry!
