Marsh Art 2007

In 2007 Maya Haviland and DADAA (Disability in the Arts, Disadvantage in the Arts Australia) worked with people in the community of Derby WA,  to develop and put on the first Derby Marsh Art Event. The MarshARTabilities event was held on the closing night of the 2007 Boab Festival in Derby. For several months leading up to the event artists from around Derby developed projects in response to the Derby marsh, a vast tidal mud flat that surrounds the town of Derby on 3 sides. Several visiting artists were supported by DADAA to  come up from down south and make work on and around the marsh.
