Mosaics Resource Center to open in Utah County, providing LGBTQ+ support
A new community resource center dedicated to supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and families is set to open its doors in Utah County. The Mosaics Resource Center will celebrate its grand opening on March 1, 2025, at 42 N 200 E in American Fork, with a day of festivities aimed at fostering connection, support, and inclusion. Mosaics Community Bookstore and Venue, once located in Provo, suffered a number of bomb threats, which caused the landlord to require them to move.
The grand opening event will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon in partnership with the Utah LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce. Then, a Family Resource Carnival will take place from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m., offering games, food, and access to local resources for attendees of all ages.
Mosaics Resource Center aims to fill a critical gap in Utah County by providing LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families with vital resources, support networks, and community engagement opportunities. The center will serve as a safe and welcoming space where individuals can access essential services, support groups, and educational programming.
Attendees are encouraged to participate in a community donation drive by bringing non-perishable food items, new or gently used LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC books, and lightly used clothing that reflects diverse gender expressions. These donations will support community members in need.
As part of the celebration, visitors will also have the opportunity to contribute to a collaborative Mosaic mural in the center’s community room. Those interested in reserving a space on the mural can bring paint supplies and email info@mosaicsutah.com for more details.
The event is free and open to all, welcoming LGBTQIA+ individuals, families, allies, and supporters. With its opening, the Mosaics Resource Center aims to create a lasting impact in Utah County, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for all.
