About Silo 6

An exhibition space inside a cluster of six old cement silos at Silo Park, on Beaumont Street where it meets Jellicoe Street in Auckland's CBD. The silos once stored cement for transport on the old rail line, and the inside of Silo 6 is now a space for curated works by artists and community groups. The website says the programme is put together by Fresh Concept with Auckland Council. Recent programme listings include Whai, Whānau and Pompoms, and a girls and women's skate class with a jam session. The park's taller silo, Silo 7, is 35 metres high and hosts Silo Park's cinema, projected onto its walls at night. The site sits on the Western Reclamation, once the port's timber and bulk fuel area, which is why the silos stand where they do.
