KIDS: Snail Mail Art Kits
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 12/12/2020
Hey Kids! Have you ever received a postcard, greeting card or hand-written letter delivered directly to your home the old-fashioned way? Receiving a special note in the mail can be a delightful experience. Why not spread the joy?! Griffin Art Projects is inviting you to make some snail mail to brighten someone’s day. Here’s how it works: Our hands-on creative Snail Mail kits will be available for pickup at the gallery every Saturday from 12 – 5pm from October 3rd to December 12, 2020. Once you get back home, get to work creating your masterpiece: Draw a picture, share a story or write about an awesome idea on your card. Once complete, stick it in the envelope and send it back to Griffin. We will be delivering it to a local community centre where it will bring cheer and comfort to someone in need.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Our Snail Mail kits are brought to you in conjunction with Now Bulletin: Artworks, Letters and Printed Matter from the Garry Neill Kennedy Collection 1968 - 2019 an exhibition that explores the collection and works of eminent Vancouver artist and former NSCAD president, Garry Neill Kennedy. Featuring artworks, postcards, letters, drawings, prints, photographs and more, Kennedy’s collection captures a constellation of events, histories and relationships embodied in objects and ephemera traded between and gifted by friends, artists and colleagues throughout Kennedy’s time at NSCAD.
