Join us for a resource fair featuring local organizations committed to serving the LGBTQ+ community with physical and mental health, presented in partnership with NWA Center for Sexual Assault.
The fair will run from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm.
A sing-along screening of Rent (2005) will be beginning at 2:00 pm following the resource fair! Set at the dawn of the 1990s, a group of New Yorkers struggle with their careers, love lives and the effects of the AIDS epidemic on their community. Mark (Anthony Rapp), an aspiring filmmaker, and Roger (Adam Pascal), an HIV-positive musician, scramble for money to pay rent to their landlord and former roommate, Benny (Taye Diggs). Meanwhile, their friend Tom (Jesse L. Martin), a professor, has fallen for Angel (Wilson Jermaine Heredia), who is slowly dying of AIDS.
Light refreshments will be provided.
This event is sponsored by Arvest Bank and Milo's Tea.
This is event is presented in partnership with NWA Center for Sexual Assault. The NWA Center for Sexual Assault provides a safe haven of healing and hope to adult survivors of sexual violence or harassment, and their loved ones, while tirelessly working toward a safer future for all through education and awareness. We envision a world free of sexual assault. Until then, we want a world where every survivor is believed and every perpetrator is held accountable. Founded as NWA Rape Crisis, through mission-driven work, our center has offered free comprehensive support to adult survivors of sexual assault since 1982. For over 40 years, we have taken action to actively counter a culture that perpetuates sexual violence, and we do this by addressing the individual and community hurts caused by those who commit these acts of violence. We want every survivor to know: you are not alone—we are here for you. Our team works diligently, every day, to create a culture that supports survivors of rape and sexual assault. Please help us create a culture in Northwest Arkansas that supports survivors. Find out more at
