 Several artists live in or around the town, including Peter Browne, Albert Woodroffe and John Dynon, with some maintaining their own galleries.This is in line with the significant number of artists working out of nearby Broken Hill, as the surrounding landscape and lighting is particularly amenable to the creation of art.Most of the original buildings have now vanished or lie in ruins, but there are some interesting buildings that remain, including the "Silverton Hotel" and the Silverton Gaol.
