As big as the sky

Have to acknowledge the Yarriambiack Shire who are chasing dollars for 'the world's biggest art gallery'.

On the back of the phenomenal success of the Brim Silo Art, which has had a huge benefit for the Brim township and the Shire, Yarriambiack is proposing a 'Silo Art Trail' - a 200km trail of landscape size silo art from Rupanyup in the south to Patchewollock in the north.
At the end of 2015, internationally renowned Brisbane-based artist Guido van Helten worked for 3 weeks, up to 10 hours a day, including Christmas Day and New Year's Day, in frequent 40-degree heat and strong winds, using spray paint and acrylic house paint, to breathe new life into Brim’s disused grain silos with a 30m by 30m artwork.

Guidio van Helten is a well-known and recognised muralist, check out some of Guido's other great work via his webpage, some of them in much colder climates.

The sheer scale of the work

The rest is now social media history, the story and photos from iphones and by professional photographers has swept around the world. The Brim Silo Art has brought a variety of visitors and tourists to Brim, and they are still coming, to gape in awe at the enormity of the scale of the project, and at Guido’s skill in rendering the figures.

Now, Yarriambiack Mayor Cr Ray Kingston wants to commission other renowned artists to paint giant murals on silos along the length of the municipality at Rup, Sheep Hills, Rosebery, Lascelles and Patche.

Discussions are taking place with the local communities, Graincorp, Juddy Roller (who helped bring Guido Van Helten to Brim), and government. They are targeting high profile street artists for the project, so it would be great to see, say an Adnate piece decorating a silo wall.

As Dean Lawson, from the Weekly Advertiser' stated it is a master stroke for increasing growth and development via tourism in Yarriambiack, as visitors will want to tick off each location as they bag each 'peak', in the biggest regional art project in Australia's history.
