Use of Artist Descriptions

When we describe artists and events on this site, we sometimes include phrases that bands have used themselves — from press kits, their websites, or public profiles. These are always placed in quotation marks and attributed as their own words to preserve authenticity and to let each artist speak for themselves.

We use such material strictly for editorial purposes: reporting, documenting, and building context around the people, places, and events that make Porchfests special.

Use of Photos

All photos on this website are displayed by mirroring/embed or hotlinking from public sources unless otherwise noted. We do not always own or host every photo; many are publicly accessible via other websites or social media.

Inclusion of these images is intended to promote artists and events, not to claim ownership. If you are the creator or rights holder of an image and believe it has been used without proper permission, credit, or you’d like it removed or updated, please contact us — we are committed to representing people with accuracy and respect.

Facts vs. Expression

Facts on Porchfests.org — dates, lineups, locations — are shared openly.
Expression of those facts — bios, taglines, images, style — belong to their authors.

We curate, narrate, and frame, but we do not claim ownership of original expressions beyond what is ours.

Terms & Conditions

Educational Purpose Only: This website is maintained for cultural, historical, and educational purposes. We are not a commercial ticketing platform, nor are we engaged in advertising.
No User Data Storage: From this time forward, Porchfests.org does not store front-end user data. Visitors may browse freely without their personal information being collected or tracked.
Public Sources: All information is gleaned from public sources — including festival announcements, artist pages, and community postings — and presented in good faith for the purpose of documentation and discovery.
Attribution & Accuracy: We strive for accuracy and fair attribution. If you notice an error or omission, please reach out so we can correct it.
No Warranties: Information on this site is provided “as is.” Porchfests.org makes no guarantees as to completeness, accuracy, or availability of events or content.
Community Respect: Our intention is to support independent artists and festivals, not exploit them. Any concerns can be addressed directly, and we will work promptly toward a fair resolution.

Together, we’re building a community archive, celebrating local culture, and helping the art live louder, smarter, and more visibly for all to discover and enjoy.
