DPVN Pride: The Front Porch

 Established in Washington, DC in 2004, The Front Porch is a multi-genre performance arts community event that centers around Spoken Word, acoustic soul, and Hip Hop music. The small intimate event has been a staple specifically in Black LGBTQ and progressive performance spaces and celebrated for being an inclusive event where all are welcome. The Front Porch doesn’t really have a target demographic, beyond people who appreciate creative expression for all kinds of people by all kinds of people: black and non-black, gay and straight and in between, from various class and geographic experiences, coming to celebrate work rooted in truth, vulnerability, and integrity of featured artists.
