ArtsCal.org

For artists and venues

Thanks for making things worth listing. Here is what to know if you are an artist, a venue or a presenter.

What we list

ArtsCal.org lists upcoming events at major venues, listening rooms and festivals in the Capital Region. We collect them from your own public calendars and ticket pages. Read more in how we choose events.

Check your listing

Use the search in the app, or find your venue on the Browse page, and look at how your events appear. Each event links back to your ticket page.

You're in charge of your listings

Email us and we aim to act within one business day, usually the same day:

  • Fix: something wrong? Please ask for a correction and we'll correct it.
  • Add: something missing? You can ask us to consider it.
  • Remove or opt out: an event, your images or text, or your whole venue, and we stop reading your site. Please ask for removal. No reason needed; we keep a note so it stays that way.
  • Prefer a feed? Send an ICS link and we'll read that instead of your pages.
  • Images and text: we only show your photos or your own description wording if you've told us that's OK.

We read public calendars gently, and a few pages at most once a week in an ordinary browser. If you'd rather we didn't, say so and we'll stop.

Names and logos

Venue, artist and event names are used only to tell you what is on and where. They belong to their owners. We don't use venues' logos, and a listing doesn't mean a venue or artist endorses, sponsors or works with ArtsCal.org. If you'd like your name shown differently or not at all, tell us.

Calendar feed for venues

If your venue publishes a calendar feed (an ICS link or similar), send us the link. A feed means your listings stay accurate and up to date with no work from you.

Public feeds

Everything we list is also available as events.json, events.ics and llms.txt, with links back to each venue's own page. See upcoming events.

What we do not do

Listing is free and we do not charge. We cannot promise ranking, placement or that any event will be shown or picked by anyone. We do not sell visitors' names or emails; the most a venue would ever see is totals.
