One thing I love about driving in Australia is seeing so much art on silos and water tanks. Saw this one close to home at Wangi Wangi, in the Hunter Region

The “mural” of the story: Silo art enhances community
While traveling this year, we have been fortunate to see several outstanding examples of grain elevator/silo art being employed in cities and towns across the heartland. Given the naturally gray/beige color of these enormous structures, a splash of bright, bold colors or an inspiring image can enhance not just the towering structure itself, but also help brighten the entire surrounding neighborhood.
While approaching either downtown Salina, Kansas or Mankato, Minnesota, one cannot help but be impressed by the sky-high artistry depicted on the local grain elevator silos. The towering images of unity, community, diversity, and friendship in these two mid-sized prairie cities are breathtaking. Meanwhile, when entering Toledo along Interstate 75, the Glass City River Wall fronting the Maumee River immediately captures your attention.
Few community placemaking efforts can create such an immediate, meaningful, and positive response from locals and visitors alike. Personally, this retired planner prefers those silo murals that have a local historical and/or human connection versus just painting them to add color or a standardized patriotic theme. Such a direct connection is important to build both initial and continuous support from the community.
The murals also help promote civic pride and create a catalyst towards the rebirth of aging sectors of the city/town. Just imagine an outdoor performance venue with these 100+ foot tall icons overlooking the busy festivities below. Similar projects have been done successfully at former steel mills in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (SteelStacks) and Birmingham, Alabama (Sloss Furnaces) and at a former grain elevator in Buffalo, New York (RiverWorks).
Or perhaps a food truck rodeo could be established at the base of the silos serving up delicious meals throughout the week. Or they could become the centerpiece of a civic plaza with fountains, courtyards, light shows, and landscaping adoring the site. Honestly, the sky’s truly the limit for ideas employing these immensely impressive structures.
Kudos to each city/town here in the United States and elsewhere who have found the wherewithal to take visual art to exciting new heights. Below are images of the six silo murals we observed. Peace!

Day 12 of the road trip took me from Esperance to Hyden, WA. As an old Aggie I loved travelling through tens of thousands of hectares of canola and wheat crops. Found this great bit of silo art by Jerome Davenport in Varley. #RoadTrip #SiloArt #StreetArt

Australian Silo Art Trailhttps://www.australiansiloarttrail.com/
Throughout Australia It has become popular to repurpose silos. These art works are absolutely awesome.
The mural concept, titled ‘When the Rain Comes’, portrays a young boy playing and cooling off in the Yelarbon Lagoon. In his hand, he holds a paper boat, destined to sail across the Yelarbon Lagoon, depicted along and over the shorter six silos.#siloart #australia #QLD #queensland #Yelarbon #dustytravelsoz -

Down in Quirindi today.
They have some great silo art. It's part of a trail thru the area that has silos covered in all sorts of stuff.

Goorambat is not far from Benalla where Melbourne based artist Jimmy Dvate has painted a number of silos. Though they may seem generic, the images represent specific horses and birds. #RoadTrip #SiloArt #StreetArt

Local artist Tim Bowtell also painted the silos in St James. These towns are very small ( pop. 132 ) so the dozen motorists and the same number of cyclists who were there today add significantly to the town's economy. #RoadTrip #SiloArt #StreetArt

New at my Patreon... Wherever you go in Victoria, you never seem to be far from a painted wheat silo. This one I spotted in tiny Katamatite, revealing its past:

Tribute to Harold Thomas Bell – Silo Art by Julian Clavijo and Camilo Delgado in Walpeup, Australia
Muralists Julian Clavijo and Camilo Delgado By Julian Clavijo (PACHI) and Camilo Delgado in Walpeup, Australia. About the mural: This Silo Mural pays tribute to Harold Thomas Bell, a local boy from Walpeup, a little town in the north west part of Victoria, who became a trooper of the 4th Australian Light Horse Regiment after using his cousin’s last name, Wickham, to disguise his true age to enlist and fight in World War I. This boy was shot in the leg during the Battle of Beersheba on […] -

These pics were taken on a road trip to #Centralvictoria, specifically #Colbinabbin, late December last year.
These magic scenes are just one collection of many throughout our State (and beyond), which have been affectionately dubbed #siloart.
This collection I believe is known as ‘THE COLBINABBIN FARMERS' PICNIC’, which depicts the locals of the district coming together back in the day, for an annual chance to relax and unwind!
I marvelled at these for some time. And must admit, was taken back to a different time to those we experience today.
The quality was superb and scale of these things; epic.

Silo artists are an exceptionally talented bunch.
I wouldn't know where to begin.

The #WintonWetlands in #NorthEastVictoria #Australia is a vast 8750 hectare landscape that homes a large variety of #flora and #fauna including many species of birds and animals.
In 2016 as part of the ‘Wall to Wall street art festival’ in #Benalla, #GuidoVanHelten was commissioned to paint a water tank right in the middle of the wetlands.
The water tank portrays magnificent portraits of three local Country Fire Authority (#CFA) volunteers.
