Silo Art Project

In 2018, international artist Guido van Helten was commissioned by CityArt to create a mural on the Ardent Mills silos in downtown Mankato. CityArt, a collaborative effort between the Twin Rivers Council for the Arts and the City Center Partnership, aims to enhance the quantity, quality, and visibility of public art in Mankato and North Mankato. For nearly a decade, CityArt had been planning to incorporate artwork on the silos. Thanks to van Helten and a group of generous donors, the Silo Art now tells the story of Greater Mankato.
