‘First Tube’, an art show featuring Phish artists from around the country will be held on Saturday June 16th from 10am-3pm at the Trump Plaza Hotel, Westminster Room, on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Developed and produced by a group of artists and fans known as the Mothership Art Collective, this poster show will be held in the middle of a weekend of Phish, who play nearby Bader Field June 15-17th.
The initial artists announced for First Tube represent some of the best artists in the Phish community and poster art. Longtime Phish artists AJ Masthay, TRiPP, Ryan Kerrigan, John Warner, Erin Cadigan, Noah Phence and Bruce Horan have been a part of many poster shows in the past and each have a large portfolio of concert poster art across a wide range of musical acts.
Newcomers Jiggs, Ed Wilson, Lauren Domsky and Branden Otto are featured in their first Phish poster show, as well as writer and author Dave Calarco who will be selling and discussing his book ‘Mr. Miner’s Phish Thoughts’ at the show.
First Tube will also be incorporating the growing area of pin makers and collectors into the show with Party Time Pins, 10 Minute Tube Designs, Pin Me Down and stuPINdous Creations. Brian Kushner of PhanBadge and Adam Davidoff of Phishcoins will also be in attendance, showcasing their unique memorabilia.
Non-profits include The Mockingbird Foundation which has given grants for music education totaling more than $600,000 over the past 14 years; PhanArt, a book and website created as a way to showcase the art made by Phish fans and raises money for Mockingbird Foundation, and Screens ‘n’ Suds, based in Richmond, VA, curates beer inspired screenprints to raise money to benefit the National MS Society and other charities, with monies totaling nearly $50,000 in the past 4 years.
Phish poster shows have been held over the years with great success, as unique posters made for the Phish shows that weekend and stop on the tour feature some of the best concert art being produced today. First Tube is the first event for 2012 produced by the Mothership Art Collective, a group within the Phish community, comprised of artists and organizations who promote the art inspired by the band Phish. The eclectic artists featured at this event show the broad scope of Phish related art and capture the inspiration of the band in their art. The creative fan base that Phish has makes for amazing art inspired by the band, the locales and the music. The collective will work hard to bring a show to the Phish touring public each year.
In keeping with the great tradition and success of past poster shows, First Tube will offer free entry to all patrons, tubes available for purchase, charitable donations from the event made to the Mockingbird Foundation and the Virginia Mason Foundation (in memory of Shawn Williams). First Tube will feature a wide array of artists with posters, art, pins and other memorabilia to fit any budget. Special edition works, only available at the show, will be available for viewing shortly at www.mothershipartcollective.org

TRiPP also has four new pins available:
I’ll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin’s tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire when you lose your way
Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like?
Their walls are built of cannonballs, their motto is
Don’t tread on me. Come hear Uncle John’s Band by the riverside
Got some things to talk about here beside the rising tide
It’s the same story the crow told me;
It’s the only one he knows.
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go.
* Third pin in seasons series
Each pin is engraved with its # in the edition and TRiPP’s signature, has double pins on the back (so the pin doesn’t spin). All orders are shipped via USPS First Class mail with tracking. All orders of both a pin and poster are shipped via USPS Priority Mail with tracking.
A cool idea for artists to take part in courtesy of Dylan from Boston:
“Hey Phans! My names Dylan from Boston Mass. I had this idea to make a Summer 2012 Compilation and in the end make physical CD’s to hand out on tour FOR FREE! For this project, I need artists to help me design a completely original, Phishy piece of art that can be used as an Album cover for this compilation (more detail on this can be found in this thread on Phish.Net)
The rules are: NO use of any official Phish logo. NO use of the word Phish or any likeness of band members. Just make it completely your own original piece that includes “Summer Tour 2012″ on it somewhere. For the love of Phish, and FREE MUSIC! Help us make this possible, thanks a lot everyone!”
The deadline for submissions is May 31st. Send submissions or questions to Lethal.i (at) live.com
