"Sculpture bombing" is the newest "it thing" when it comes to the world of pop up art and it's now happening in Leeton.
Sculpture Bombing has been described as a new initiative where residents won't know when or where an artwork will pop up around Leeton shire.
They also won't know for how long it will remain in that location.

Leeton Shire Council's events and cultural services co-ordinator Sues Vos said pop up art supports professional and emerging artists to showcase their creativity and innovation in regional communities such as Leeton.
"Pop up art is the perfect way to both promote local artists and market our shire," she said.
One local artist who is currently involved with the movement in Leeton is Tobias Bennett from Tobias Sculptural Metal, who has a temporary artwork installed in Chelmsford Place.
Residents who own property that would be a suitable pop up location, or creators with an interest in public art, should get in touch with Mrs Vos on 6953 0922 or at suesannv@leeton.nsw.gov.au.
Those who are not an artist, but enjoy the pop up art scene that is growing in Leeton have been encouraged to take pictures and post them to Facebook and Instagram with the hashtags #SculptureBomb #VisitLeeton.
