Silo Art Calendar - A Tapestry of Art and Community Spirit


In the enchanting world of the Australian Silo Art Trail, where colossal murals breathe life into rustic silos and transform rural landscapes into awe-inspiring artscapes, a new gem has emerged - The Silo Art Calendar. 

 

Now in its 4th edition for 2024, this calendar isn’t just a collection of exquisite art; it’s a testament to the profound connection between art, community, and generosity.

 

The conception of the Silo Art Calendar was as organic as the artworks it so beautifully encapsulates. As the pandemic unfurled its clutches, halting the beautiful dance of travellers across the Australian outback, a longing echoed in the virtual spaces where the admirers of silo art convened. They yearned to carry a piece of this artistic grandeur into their homes, to experience the mesmerizing artwork not just during their sojourns but every day.

 

In 2019, amidst the myriad of accolades and reflections shared online, a consistent sentiment emerged – the desire for a calendar adorned with these magnificent artworks. A reminder of the timeless beauty nestled in Australia’s heartlands and the unforgettable journeys that led to their discovery. Damian and Annette, the team behind the Australian Silo Art Trail heeded the call.

 

Crafting the calendar was a journey steeped in respect and collaboration. Every artwork is a soulful expression of the artist, and their consent was paramount. Their gracious nod was not just an approval but a harmonious extension of the community spirit that the silo art embodies. Each artist agreed to feature their artwork, anchored by the noble cause that 50% of the profits would flow back into the regional communities that host these artistic treasures.

 

The inception of the calendar, thus, wasn’t merely a commercial endeavour but a heartfelt response. It was a bridge connecting the art enthusiasts to the soul-stirring silo art during a time when physical journeys were paused, and a conduit channelling resources back to the communities, fostering growth, support, and resilience.

 

Till date, the first three editions of the Silo Art Calendar have generated over $217,000 donated, a testament to the universal appeal of the silo artworks and the collective ethos of giving back. Every page turned, every month that unfolds, carries with it not just the visual spectacle of art but the silent echo of contribution, of being part of a movement that transcends geographical boundaries and unites hearts.

 

As you journey through the months with the 2024 Silo Art Calendar in hand, remember, each artwork is not just a visual feast but a chapter of a larger narrative. A narrative of art fostering community, of distant admirers becoming integral contributors, and of the indomitable spirit of unity that not even a pandemic could quell.

 

Every calendar purchased is a step closer to the rustic silos adorned with breathtaking art, a gesture of support to the regional communities, and an embrace of the harmonious dance between art, nature, and humanity. 

 

Join us in turning the pages, each echoing the silent yet potent anthem - we are together in this journey, every day of the year.
