ARC is the LGBTQIA+ association of Cagliari, active since 2002 and based on Via Falzarego. It is a cultural and volunteer organisation rather than a bar, and it is where most of what happens in the city gets organised.
Its rooms hold the Mediateca LGBT e Queer, a public library and media collection, and the anti-discrimination centre Ci siamo, which takes reports and offers support. ARC also trains schools and workplaces.
It puts on Sardegna Pride and the USN Sardinia Queer Film Expo, and runs a queer choir, a reading group, film screenings and game nights. Visitors are welcome and membership is what keeps the place going.
