With the artist chosen to do the Murray Bridge silo artwork recently completing silo art in Victoria, the question is: what’s happening with the local project?

Sam Bates, AKA Smug, is an Australian artist, based in Scotland, who has created large-scale photorealistic murals internationally.

He recently created an impressive silo artwork in Murtoa, Victoria.

But there’s been no visible progress on the Murray Bridge silo art project, located on the Viterra silos on Railway Terrace.

Murray Bridge council CEO Michael Sedgman explained why.
