Arthur Egeli is a fine artist and filmmaker. For his art, he has received awards from the Portrait Society of America, the Oil Painters of America, and the American Impressionist society.

Arthur is a third generation painter. His grandfather Bjorn Egeli (1900-1984) painted official portraits of Eisenhower, Nixon, and MacArthur. His father and mother are both award winning portrait painters. Arthur began his studies with his father and mother, and in the winter and summer, with Henry Hensche at the Cape School of Art. His experiences would nurture a lifelong love of Provincetown and inspire his first feature film, "The Art of Passion", which won the $110,000 jury prize at the Hamptons International Film Festival. He also attended Art Center in Pasadena, California and the University of Maryland, where he was awarded a creative writing scholarship.

In Pasadena, he met his wife, actress Heather Hayes, who would collaborate with Arthur on five films to date. Following the birth of their daughter, Arthur and Heather opened Egeli Gallery in Provincetown. The gallery soon expanded from a summer business to a thriving year-round business, representing not only emerging contemporary artists such as John Clayton and Margaret McWethy, but masters from Provincetown's past like Charles Hawthorne, John Whorf, George Elmer Browne and Henry Hensche. Today, Arthur and Heather reside in Provincetown, Massachusetts, producing art and films and raising their two children.
