The Center for Artistic Revolution, CAR, is a 501 (c)(3)sponsored, statewide, grassroots community based organization.
CAR was founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 2003 by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Queer Arkansans (LGBTQ) and their straight allies who believe that all people should have equitable access to fair treatment, a democratic political process, and economic and environmental justice.
