THE SOUTH-WEST'S BRAND NEW HUE
It’s amazing what a splash of colour can do to a space — or an outback town in this case. The long and winding roads in Western Australia's south-west have morphed into something of whimsical art experience.
Paving the way towards Australia's biggest outdoor art gallery is FORM. The non-for-profit art and cultural collective saw potential in the region's existing blank canvases — grain silos. Collaborating with grain handlers Co-operative Bank Handling (CBH) they summoned local and internationally renowned artists to transform the region's industrial towers into contemporary masterpieces.
Today, six massive murals form the PUBLIC Silo Trail, linking rural and coastal towns, from Northam to Albany. The once eyesores are now must-sees within these regional towns. This on-road art gallery experience hasn’t just brought world-class creativity to an industry dominated landscape, it has woven itself into the region's social fabric and rejuvenated tourism.
With my travelling crew, I was ready to embark on a gallery experience of epic proportions.
