Our neighbours, East Gippsland Art Gallery, are inviting youth to participate in a Snail Mail project. In which youth are encouraged to create a mini artwork or to write a letter, this will be sent out to someone a similar age in another area. They will also receive a letter back in response! Check it out here: https://www.eastgippslandartgallery.org.au/snailmailproject-2020  

Do you like making and creating? Would you like to brighten someone else’s day?

Because you can, by sending a meaningful message to someone who has to stay home just like you.

​

East Gippsland Art Gallery is inviting children to participate in our fun and exciting Snail Mail Project.

You write a letter and make a small handmade gift to send to someone who lives far away and they send a letter back to you.

We know you are all creative kids but if you need an idea, start by introducing yourself and what activities you like doing.

Here’s a few handmade ideas to help you get started:

You could

• Draw a picture of yourself, your house, your pets

• Include your favourite recipe with a photo or drawing of the dish

• Write a list of the things you do to cheer yourself up

• Or list your 5 favourite songs or movies

• Make a collage of picture cut out from old magazines

• Create an origami animal to send

• Make and decorate a bookmark

• Design a card

Then pop it into an envelope.
