On December 30th, PhanArt brought a very special pre-Phish event to American Beauty NYC. The event featured ten excellent fan artists from the Phish scene, showcasing and selling posters, t-shirts, bathing suits, and a wide variety of other creative items. PhanArt events are joyous occasions, filled with hardcore fans that are genuinely excited to interact with each other. This event was even more joyous with the addition of two sets of live music.

Up-and-coming funk jam band Fomula 5 delivered two awesome sets of music on the venue’s main stage throughout the afternoon, delivering a mix of original material and fun covers, such as “Money For Nothing” by Dire Straits. With live music downstairs and phish-themed art upstairs, this special edition of PhanArt made for a unique pre-Phish party that had a little something for everyone.
