Greetings from Planet Love

Welcome to Planet Love.

In the summer of 2023, 12 youth art apprentices from ArtWorks joined forces with the True Body Project at The Well and discovered a forgotten planet: Planet Love.

Greetings from Planet Love

Over 8 weeks, these young explorers spent each day at The Well meeting with guest artists and inspirers and making visual, literary and photographic art inspired by Planet Love. They created a book, entitled Dispatches from Planet Love, and a mural and pocket park in Camp Washington.

This summer program was made possible thanks to City of Cincinnati youth-to-work funds, donations from individuals, Idlewild, and a grant from P&G. 

The promise of Planet Love inspired Saturdays on Planet Love, weekly sessions for LGBTQIA youth and monthly sessions for adults, featuring peer facilitation with mindfulness, art, writing and connection. Thanks to ArtsWave Pride for recognizing and funding this important "third space."

We can't do the work without our supporters.
