The project brought together street artists from around the world to create a giant outdoor gallery.
The initial six sites along the Silo Art Trail have attracted State, National and International visitors. It has
acted as a stimulus for businesses in a region traditionally reliant on, and greatly impacted by the agricultural
industry.

around the country.
