Queer Care Fair 2026

Join us at the Queer Care Fair 2026 for a free day of education, resource sharing, and community building! This year we are featuring a large collective of incredible orgs, artists, and clinicians who serve the queer community of Chicago. We are so excited to share some of the programming with you:

Create your own Personal Pride Flag with Rowan Tree therapists. Get yourself a queer-inspired flash tattoo by incredible queer artists Kara Sparks and Em Osgood, first come first serve (more flash info to come). Shop our FREE Gender Affirming Community Closet and swap clothes with the T Boys of Chicago. Learn all you need to know about gender gear from our friends at Early to Bed. Explore how to get involved with the activists of Trans UpFront Illinois and the folks at Hope for the Day. Meet with the all-body-empowering, trans-affirming gym owners from Above the Bar.

Check out upcoming events and artists of the Newport Theater and immerse yourself in the magical power of zine art with the Trans.Cribe. Bodywork by Theo will be there to teach the power of massage and healing. Learn from expert Dr. Laura Ross about pelvic floor therapy, and Physician Assistant Rachael Johnson of the Gender Affirming Surgical Program at UIC.
