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.
Waikerie Silo Art (Healthy River Healthy Community)
Location: https://bit.ly/3RtQkxy
Artists: Jimmy Dvate and Garry Duncan https://www.instagram.com/dvate/ https://www.instagram.com/garryduncan.artist/
Painted on both sides, giving a land view and a river view as well.
Giant Yabby and the endangered Regent Parrot, Murray Hardyhead and the Spiny Daisy.
Semi-abstract river landscape and has included many quirky, local, native river creatures, like assorted birds, frogs, fish and turtles. Garry has also featured the Rainmoth, which is where the town of Waikerie gets its name.
The name ‘Waikerie’ is said to mean ‘many wings’, after the giant swift moth ‘Wei kari’, the name given to the moth by the indigenous first peoples of the area.
The work took 16 weeks to complete and used nearly 500 litres of paint.
