“We think the Popsilos project is a wonderful idea because it will bring public art to rural communities that are often left out from monumental art projects. Painting tall silos situated against the beautiful Canadian landscape is a stunning way to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary through art, and also a way of getting primarily urban painters to reconnect with their earthly roots.”

“I have personal connections to the region and have always wanted to paint a silo. The themes of the project are also ones that resonate with me.”

Popsilos offers a unique touristic experience in Canada: a self-guided circuit that has visitors discover seven giant murals on farm silos in the Prescott-Russell countryside, while inviting them to stop at producers’ or artisans’ shops to check out local products.
