The Australian Silo Art Trail is a fascinating and vibrant outdoor gallery that showcases large-scale murals painted on grain silos and water towers across rural Australia. This movement began in 2015 in Western Australia and has since spread to various states, transforming these otherwise mundane structures into stunning works of art.
The trail features over 60 silos and 80 water towers adorned with art, with Victoria having the most silos. Each piece is unique, often reflecting the local community’s history, culture, and environment. The murals are created by both local and international artists, making each stop along the trail a unique experience.
Visiting the Silo Art Trail is a fantastic way to explore the countryside, support rural communities, and appreciate the creativity and talent of the artists involved. Hopefully you have had the chance to visit some of these silos. You can download the trail maps for each state from Google.
The following is just a sample of the stunning artwork that awaits you.
What a wonderful sight it must be in the countryside to see these works of art! Thanks for the article.
Thanks Henry, I cannot find anything on Google about Silo Art in the USA. Is it common over your way? Cheers from Down Under.
