Maningrida Community 

Inspired by her life growing up on the West Arnhem Land coast, Tara Darcy's artwork Maningrida Community features colourful turtles, birds, planes, houses and people. 

This project was delivered in collaboration with Arts Access Darwin and the Free Space Studio, supporting artists with disability in developing and sharing their work. 

Following the installation of new light poles in the car park at Nightcliff Jetty this public art project was made possible by Innovation’s Technical Services team.
