Griffith University | Australian Silo Art Research Project Survey

This Griffith University Research Project (GU Ref: 2020/824) is exploring the social and economic impacts of Australian silo art on both (i) visitors and (ii) people who live in and around towns with silo art, such as Weethalle.

The findings of this research will provide much-needed publicly available and empirical evidence regarding the current impacts of silo art as a growing national movement. The knowledge gained will also help to support and shape future mural, public art, cultural and tourism projects throughout rural and regional Australia, including the ongoing promotion, activation and extension of existing silo art sites.

The first public report from this research will be available in July.

This project involves two online surveys:

#1) The ‘main survey’ (approx. 20 minutes) for both (i) silo art visitors and (ii) local communities in towns with silo art; and

#2) A shorter business survey (approx. 5 minutes) for business owners/managers based within 100km of a silo art site.

The business survey is intended for a range of businesses (including those that have not experienced any impacts associated with silo art).
