42 Degrees Art Gallery in Glens Falls features PhanArt and PhanArtists!
Not all galleries are the same.
In fact, you find very few that are much alike. While they all adhere to the same purpose (to display – and usually sell – pieces of art), each conveys its goal in very different ways.
One of the area’s more unconventional galleries is 42 Degrees, a new space that recently opened in downtown Glens Falls. Just a stone’s throw away from the city’s hospital, 42 Degrees specializes in Phan-Art – a form of art made famous by the band Phish that is used as promotion for concerts, musical events and pop culture.
“We really would like to go in that direction,” co-owner Mike Chowske said.
While many of the artists in the shop are local, the Phan-Art artists are drawn from throughout the country with the help of Albany-based author Pete Mason.
“(Mason) put out a book on Phan-Art, and we got in touch with the artists through him,” said co-owner Jon King.
The shop’s Phan-Art designers come from diverse locales, including Hartford, Conn., and Berkeley, Calif.

Review of 2009 and Our Goal for 2010
Since February of 2009 when the launch part for PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish took place at Revolution Hall in Troy, NY, a grand total of $1314.24 has been raised through sales of the book PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish, donations made by PhanArtists, sales online of donated items, as well as auctions and donations made via the PhanArt blog. We are overwhelmed and impressed by this amount of money generated and are incredibly grateful to the Phish community for their support of the Mockingbird Foundation and music education, as well as the support for PhanArt and the effort to archive the art of the fans of Phish.
That being said, we would like to make the goal for this year to round out the total to $5000 by the end of 2010. $5000 is the amount of a FULL grant given to a school or organization by the Mockingbird Foundation for music education, and it is definitely within our reach. That means we look to donate a total of $3685.76 over the course of this year. We already have dozens of artists taking advantage of the PhanArt Blog and donating to Mockingbird through those means, and as their art is purchased and auctions are held, donations are accrued and sent directly to The Mockingbird Foundation. With your help, we can make the PhanArt Blog a great success and independent fundraiser for the Mockingbird Foundation.
Spread the word to your friends and phriends, buy items from PhanArt and PhanArtists, and keep your eye out for new offers and deals all the time on great lot art from PhanArt! Stay updated on random deals via Twitter and on our Facebook Page and Group
Happy New Year and here’s to a prosperous 2010!
Street team needed for Trey Winter Tour and Further Tour!
PhanArt is looking for Street team members for shows this February on Trey tour and Further Tour!
Trey tour dates needed: NY, NJ, Charlotte, Atlanta
Further tour dates needed: most of them so far (Trey dates were snapped up faster)
We will send you flyers, and a shirt as a token of appreciation for your efforts in flyering at the shows. We also will provide you with our undying respect, but that cannot be packaged as of yet.
If you are interested, email Pete at phanart@gmail.com and let him know what show or shows you are interested in flyering at. It is a small effort that makes a big impact for the site, and ultimately, The Mockingbird Foundation.
Editorial on the Naked guy from Surrender to the Flow
This editorial was first published in the Miami edition of Surrender to the Flow, the Phish Fanzine. We at PhanArt agree with this editorial so much that we had to publish it, in its entirety, with permission from the editor, Christy Articola. (all emphasis added)
I was at Charlottesville when The Naked Guy jumped on stage. While the crowd roared with laughter as he eluded security for nearly thirty seconds, and while the band watched, dumbstruck, I have to admit, I too let a giggle escape… for a second. Quickly, however, my laughter turned to disdain.
Who does this guy think he is?
Okay, okay. Maybe I’m a party pooper– but randoms jumping on stage stopped being funny the night Dimebag Darrell got killed on stage. It’s not funny. It’s scary. Imagine if YOU were Trey and some naked, possibly spun out, likely drunk guy lunges at you out of the blue?
I friggin love Phish. You people know this, clearly. I’m not knocking them for taking this fan antic and turning it into something funny and unique. But I can only hope (and beg, and pray) that when Trey threw “Run like a naked guy out of control” into the lyrics that nobody got any ideas. Sure, it was a fun Antelope, due to the alternate lyrics. We all got a kick out of it. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, people… do NOT get naked and jump on stage. Don’t jump on stage clothed, either. JUST DON’T JUMP ON STAGE. JUST DON’T DO IT. DON’T try to get famous at a Phish show. Don’t you realize the repercussions of actions like this? Tighter security. Interrupted jams. A general feeling of uncomfortableness from the band. These are things we do NOT want at Phish shows, people.
I’ve always called Trey out for saying “Keep doing that– it looks cool!” during the first-ever glowstick war at The Great Went. Yes, glowstick wars look cool. I agree. But this comment– and this comment alone– spawned years of all of us being hit in the head with glowsticks, and years of the band having to dodge flying glowsticks during some seriously sick Phish moments. It’s finally subsided. Glowstick wars are actually kind of great these days— BECAUSE PEOPLE FINALLY KNOW BETTER THAN TO THROW THEM AT THE BAND- but it took years.
DON’T let this event in Charlottesville become a regular feature of Phish shows. If you see someone attempting to run on stage, stop them. IT’S NOT COOL. This should not continue. This should be a one time thing. The band may think its funny…. now. But they won’t when it starts happening every show. Sure– this was the first time it happened since “I saw Carini and the naked man” way back in Madison on 11/6/98, but hopefully it’ll be at LEAST eleven more years before we have to see these kinds of antics at a show again.
Please. I’m begging.
