Arthur “Art” Clokey (October 12, 1921 – January 8, 2010) was an American pioneer in the popularization of stop-motion, clay animation. He was best known as the co-creator of the characters Gumby and Pokey.

At once quirky and colorful, heartbreaking and redemptive, the film Gumby Dharma takes us on a journey through the life and career of spiritual seeker Clokey, whose famous creations echoed the mystical path of their creator.
