Merchants and Musicians by Casey McIntosh

This exhibition features vibrant and engaging portraits and places that celebrate the diverse individuals who contribute to our local community. Among those portrayed are skilled chefs who craft culinary masterpieces, a dedicated butcher who offers the finest cuts of meat, and passionate café owners who create inviting spaces for gathering.

Additionally, the exhibition will spotlight talented musicians, including the renowned Warren Ellis, a former local of Ballarat, whose artistry has left a significant mark on the Australian music scene as well as on Tosh's art practice. Through these portraits, the exhibition aims to capture the stories, character, and dedication of these remarkable individuals.

The Old Butchers Shop Gallery is a place to show the diversity and talent of Ballarat artists, with a different artist exhibiting each month.
