It follows a suggestion to foster a tourist trail between Albury and Wagga featuring redecorated grain and water towers.
The redevelopment of silos into art canvases has been successfully launched in Victoria’s Wimmera-Mallee region and other New South Wales projects, such as this magnificent piece in Weethalle, are gaining traction.
Now, the idea has sparked in Wagga and resident artists Tyrone Hoerler and Aunty Kath Withers have already expressed interest in the project.
