Lyrics, Landscapes and Lintels is a feature of the recently-launched Riverina Outdoor Trail.
The trail travels between 17 towns and cities across the Riverina, with towns such as Hillston, Temora, Coleambally and Jerilderie all represented along the trail.
Thrive Riverina chairman Brent Lawrence said the program comes after collaboration with councils across the region and the trail will grow as more artworks and towns are added.
"The aim of the whole project for us is to get people dispersing out through the regions," Mr Lawrence said.

"Most of us are not destinations in our own right, were all small communities who have something special but we are better linked promoting that together.
"We each bring different skill sets but we've been able to pull something that will hopefully have real benefit for the region.
"At the moment there's a couple of artworks that are in progress... it will continue to grow and I think this is only the starting point for collaborating with other councils."
Mr Lawrence said the project aims to tap into the emerging tourist interest of outdoor artworks such as the Weethalle silo artwork and Coleambally's water tower mural and draw locals and visitors to parts of the region they may not have visited before.
