This website (the “Site”) is operated by Danny Allgaier, Kansas City, Missouri, USA (the “Operator,” “we,” or “us”). The People's Folk Art Museum is a grassroots project. It is not a registered nonprofit, corporation, or 501(c)(3) organization. These terms were last updated in November 2026. By visiting, browsing, commenting, submitting work, or otherwise using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
The Site
The Site is a pop-up online museum and archive of handmade folk art, songs, performances, and a community protest archive. It includes this pop-up home and any later address we move it to. The Site is offered for personal, non-commercial visiting and participation. We may change, pause, or close any part of it at any time.
Community board
The community board is a place to introduce yourself, find collaborators, share events and protests near you, talk about folk songs and performance, and ask the curators questions. Posting uses a free GitHub sign-in through Giscus; your email is not shown on the Site.
When you use the board, you agree to: be kind; not harass, threaten, or post hate; not spam or sell; share real conversation and real, human-made art (not AI-generated artwork presented as handmade); and respect people’s privacy, especially in photos and stories from protests. Do not dox anyone or post another person’s name, contact details, or identifiable image without their permission.
You are responsible for what you post. Do not post content that is unlawful, that infringes someone else’s rights, or that you do not have the right to share. Moderators may hide or remove posts that break these rules, and may close a discussion or pause the board if needed.
Your content
You keep the copyright in comments and other material you post to the community board. By posting, you grant the Operator a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display that material on the Site and, with credit where practical, in related promotional materials for the museum. You may delete a comment through your GitHub account or by asking us at the contact email below.
If you submit artwork, songs, performances, or archive material to the museum, the separate Submission Agreement also applies and controls for that work.
Moderation
We may decline, remove, or decline to display any content — including community posts and submissions — if we believe it breaks these terms or the law, or if it includes threats, incitement, hate, or doxxing. We do not promise to review every post in real time. Political content from every viewpoint is welcome; abuse is not.
Our content and other people’s work
Unless otherwise credited, the Site’s design, text, and branding are provided by the Operator. Artwork, songs, photographs, and comments belong to their makers, as credited. You may not copy the Site or its collection for commercial use without permission. A short quotation with credit, or ordinary sharing of a page link, is welcome.
Third-party services
The Site may use Cloudflare for hosting, GitHub and Giscus for comments, payment processors such as PayPal, Ko-fi, Venmo, or Cash App for donations, and Google Forms for submissions. Those services have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their sites or services.
No warranty
The Site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any content is complete or accurate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by the law of the State of Missouri, the Operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, goodwill, or profits, arising out of your use of the Site or a donation, even if we have been advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site will not exceed the greater of ten U.S. dollars (US $10) or the amount you donated to us, if any, in the three months before the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, the limit applies to the maximum extent permitted.
Changes
We may update these terms as the project grows. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. The current version will always be posted here. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Missouri, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
