If you’ve driven across Veteran’s Bridge from North Mankato to Mankato recently, you’ve likely seen art on a grand scale taking shape right before your eyes!

The Silo Art Project, an endeavor by CityArt, is in full swing. Australian artist Guido van Helten is making fast progress using the Ardent Mills silos as a vast canvas.

I hope you enjoy these images I recently took of the artist at work with the help of a drone.
