What is Silo Art?
Silo art - type of public art that is created by painting large-scale murals on grain silos.
The art is typically commissioned by local communities or organizations, and it often celebrates the history, culture, people, or natural beauty of the area.
The first silo art project was created in 2015 in Northam, Western Australia.
It can help to revitalize rural communities, attract tourists, and raise awareness of important issues. It can be a powerful tool for storytelling.
For example, some silo murals have been created to raise awareness of climate change or the importance of preserving rural heritage.
Silo Art in South Australia
17 Silo Art Locations in South Australia
There are currently 62 silo art locations in the Australian Silo Art Trail and this is updated often.
The Silo Art Trail is a great way to see some of the best of these artworks, and to explore the beautiful Wimmera Mallee region.
Silo Art is extremely important for promoting tourism in Regional Australia and if everyone of us was to take their next holiday within Australia, these regional towns and communities would benefit significantly.

Impacting culture on a broader scale
A story about two children. They use these local books as a way to teach each other about their history, culture and connections to the area.
The book talks about the hardships, farming community and day to day experiences of rural life in Eudunda. The young girl carefully steps through her magical book, experiencing cattle, sheepdogs and horseback riders as they travel through a golden dust storm.
If you look closely at the stars - A local Ngadjuri story is hidden in there.
No way a single painting can completely capture a whole culture in all its significance and nuance. But this can Invoke feelings of playfulness, open mindedness and a joyful, child-like conversation about history and culture.
