The Philosophy School of Phish is collaborating with PhanArt to offer a unique opportunity for students to actively engage with their philosopical investigations while learning about the Phish community. As part of their coursework, students will conduct interviews with PhanArt artists and write essays incorporating the artists’ interviews with themes from reading assignments and course discussions.

The Philosophy School of Phish is committed to cultivating public resources for Phish fans who want to explore theories of art and music in the context of their favorite band. To this end, the blog posts will be made available online this summer.

An exciting lineup of artists have signed up to participate. Stayed tuned for details!
