Saturdays on Planet Love

Join us for Saturdays on Planet Love, a weekly gathering for LGBTQIA youth (Ages 12-22) and adults to engage in art-making centered empathy, creativity, connection and inspiration, all with the aim to support youth mental health.

Saturdays on Planet Love is a weekly continuation of Greetings from Planet Love, a 6-week project created by 12 female-identifying and gender expansive youth with ArtWorks and The Well’s True Body Project during the summer of 2023. These art apprentices spent each day meeting with guest artists and inspirers, making visual, literary and photographic art inspired by Planet Love. Their final art work included a book — Dispatches from Planet Love — postcards, an art exhibition, and a mural in Camp Washington.

On a weekly basis, Saturdays on Planet Love is aimed to serve youth participants. Once a month, we open up Saturdays on Planet Love to adults who also want to partake. Each session will begin with a mindful experience and an art or writing prompt to begin making work together.

Each week will be facilitated by a True Body Project facilitator with occasional support from a Youth Facilitator and sometimes a special guest!
