The Christmas scene is back to looking brand new thanks to Katikati Art Group.
There’s some well known figures from the Christmas scene outside the Talisman Hotel.
But they’re looking a little brighter this year.
Mary and Joseph, the three wise men and shepherds have been newly repainted.
Katikati Art Group dedicated the art rooms and gallery to the project. Members have spent the
past two months working on the figures with Val Helm coordinating the project.
A decade ago, Pat Williams created and painted the figures and donated them to the community. Katikati Open Air Art now owns the public art and puts them up each December.
