Artist Casey Tosh presents his latest exhibition, "Merchants and Musicians," at The Old Butchers Shop Gallery in Soldiers Hill, running from October 11 to October 26. The show features portraits of local community figures, including butcher John Harbour, and musicians such as Warren Ellis, reflecting Tosh's background in hospitality and his connections to the area.
The exhibition matters because it highlights the often-overlooked contributions of local merchants and musicians who shape community life. By situating the show in a historic butcher shop and focusing on everyday figures, Tosh elevates local culture and fosters a sense of place and appreciation for those who sustain the community.
