Walls that Talk is a place activation initiative that displays images on the front wall of Maitland Library for the whole community to enjoy and experience.

For this edition of Walls that Talk, Maitland City Council invited local community preschools to create artworks that capture the many ways families celebrate the festive season.

It’s a time for connection — sharing meals, telling stories, exchanging gifts, decorating homes, and enjoying quality time with loved ones.

Two preschools answered the call, bringing us a delightful mix of artworks and craft creations made by the little ones. These festive pieces were transformed into a beautiful mosaic of collaborative frames, now on display for all to see.
