Light Projections

Following a mesmerising display in 2025, we’re excited for the return of breathtaking light projections across some of Maitland Streets most beautiful facades by renowned Australian company, Illuminart that will keep audiences in awe.

Installation: Cortex

A geometric tangle of towering arches, Cortex is a large-scale inflatable structure inspired by Australia’s Mangrove Forests. Wander under the luminous roots, while the hypnotic soundscape swoons with sonic humidity, then crackles and pops with life.

Neon Installations

Artist: Carla O’Brien

Carla O’Brien’s art is interactive, joyful, imaginative and will take you on a colourful journey in the skies while remaining securely earth-bound.

Sensory Gardens – Dr. Bliss Cavanagh

Created by Dr Bliss Cavanagh, the sensory garden is an immersive and magical multisensory experience for people of all ages and abilities. Bliss is a sensory-based artist, and expert in the design of sensory spaces backed by evidence-based research. Bliss creates large-scale, immersive multisensory installations that offer therapeutic benefits and support wellbeing.

Dream Tower – Community Art Installation

Step into a luminous realm where aspirations take shape and shine.

The Dream Tower Installation invites our community to weave their dreams into the night sky. These glowing towers stand as beacons of hope and creativity, capturing the whispered wishes and bold visions of those who dare to dream.

With every word etched, each tower transforms into a radiant mosaic of collective imagination—a living, breathing masterpiece crafted by us all.
