Princeton Porchfest 2023

April 29 @ 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Princeton Porchfest

April ARTS will culminate on Saturday, April 29 with the inaugural Princeton Porchfest from 12-6pm. PorchFest is a family-friendly event featuring musicians of all kinds playing free shows on porches throughout the neighborhood. Attendees are invited to stroll from porch to porch and relax on front lawns and sidewalks as they enjoy live, local talent.

More About Princeton Porchfest 2023

  • How does Princeton Porchfest work? Neighbors offer their porches, performers volunteer their talents. We pair the two and performances are held throughout the community between 12-6pm, allowing attendees to stroll from house to house while enjoying music and Princeton hospitality.
  • So it’s free? Yes! Thanks to the good will of our sponsors, volunteers, performers, residents, community sponsors, and donors, Princeton Porchfest is free to attend.
  • Who organizes Princeton Porchfest? The inaugural Princeton Porchfest is brought to you by the Arts Council of Princeton with support from Princeton University.
  • What are the safety protocols? We’re committed to hosting a safe and fun music event. We will adhere to all current COVID protocols on the day of Porchfest and will update this page with specifics as we get closer to the event.
  • Is Porchfest walkable? Short answer, yes! You are invited to walk, ride bikes, scooters, and/or push strollers as you move from one porch to another. Porches will be organized so that there will be plenty to see and hear close-by. A schedule of performances will be made available in advance so that you may plan which porches you’ll hit.
  • What should I bring with me? You don’t need to bring anything, but you’re welcome to bring water, snacks, and an umbrella for rain or to keep the sun off your back. We also suggest a blanket or lawn chair to stay comfortable during the 40 minute sets.
  • Eating and drinking? Attendees are welcome to bring water or snacks to enjoy along the route, but we highly recommend checking out the incredible restaurants, bars, and cafes Princeton has to offer. Come for lunch and stay for dinner!
  • Will there be bathrooms? The Arts Council welcomes you to use our facilities at 102 Witherspoon Street.
  • Is there a rain date? No. Princeton Porchfest will be held rain or shine!

Gallery Opening: Making Do

May 3 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Free
Join the Arts Council of Princeton for the Gallery Opening of Making Do. Free and open to all.
Each artist finds resonance in this stuff of life, from Shannon Curry Hartmann’s brooding pandemic era newspaper collages to Rachel Perry’s obsessive, beautiful and weirdly funny fruit sticker drawings. From Karla Carballar’s collection of fidgeting objects, arranged into a minimalist grid of maximal anxiety, to Heather Cox’s sculptural celebration of the snapshot era in all its mundane and yet somehow mysterious glory. Emna Zghal’s wood/print/collage conversations yield beautiful and haunting abstracted landscapes, and Mollie Murphy takes the small sculptures that emerge out of the stuff she scavenges and relocates them among wall hangings inspired by the original making- do mother-of-it-all: the hand made quilt.
Making Do is on view in the ACP’s Taplin Gallery from April 27 – May 24. An Artist Talk will take place Friday, May 17 at 6pm.
