Silo Art in Australia - the painting of grain silos

5 years 8 months ago #590086 by Ozzie_Traveller
G'day all

Across Australia there is an ever-increasing movement to paint grain silos - both those in active use and some disused ones - with artwork of some sort ~ often it's directly related back to the town or district itself.  There is an active 'tourist trail' published whereby travellers can see about 140 of them over about a 4000 mile journey around Oz.

Here's one such silo

Interesting idea. Nice work.

There was a "thing" here in the states back in the 70s where people were allowed to paint fire hydrants (with approval, of course). Precipitated all kinds of fun ideas.
