Created during the Mali Heart Arts Festival in Birchip in 2022, the Mali Hearts Art Trail is found in several locations around Birchip. The trail features stunning murals by renowned street artists who are passionate about making a meaningful and lasting contribution to the town, including a beautiful collaboration involving the Birchip P-12 school.

Working with the Buloke Shire Council and the local community, the inaugural festival in March 2022 brought the town together and attracted visitors from near and far to enjoy live art painting, augmented reality artworks, creative workshops, music and great food. 

The vibrant street art has brought life and color to the town – and put Birchip on the map as a must-see destination along the Silo Art Trail.

“Harvest Moon” is a  mural painted in Birchip for Blender Studios and Mali Heart festival.
Local native flora & fauna are depicted on the flat Mallee landscape along with a Sunshine Harvester in homage to the wheat farmers of the surrounding area.
With the Harvester, the Barking Owl & moon and me being on a big Neil Young kick at the time, the title was a no-brainer.
