It was earlier this week, when Jacob O'Hare first floated an idea to turn Edward Street's old mills and railway overpass from eyesores into masterpieces in an effort to liven up the city's entrance.
Since then, the city's residents have latched onto the idea that Wagga could join the silo art trend with the old mills providing the perfect canvas.
Wagga resident Kate Allman said silo art has brought thousands of people through regional towns, who might have stopped otherwise, becoming massive attractions for places like Weethalle in West Wyalong.
She said it would have the same impact for a city like Wagga while giving local artists an opportunity to be a part of something big.
"People stopping is what would be nice and spending time in the city. Art is always a way to draw people in especially if it's a local person putting their art up there," she said.
"It is a chance to show off the creativity of the city and it's nice for a hook."
Wagga councillor Vanessa Keenan said silo art brings "a big wow factor" to communities and could do the same for Wagga.
"It is important because of the scale, which makes people stop in their tracks so to speak," she said.

The old mills on Edward Street are privately owned, however Cr Keenan said there is value in encouraging the private sector to include public art in its spaces.
"When the community are recognising that there's an opportunity there, it's worth looking at and encouraging those people to explore and consider it further," she said.
"If anything the private sector getting involved has less red tape around it. The opportunity for creativity can be even greater and less restricted ... than at a council level."
Wagga resident Irene Toal said the current state of the old mills certainly does not add value to the area. "It doesn't look pretty by itself and it certainly needs a boost," she said.
