Looby

Join us as we screen ‘LOOBY’, a documentary on acclaimed and controversial painter Keith Looby, followed by a Q&A with the film’s producer.

Archibald Prize winner Keith Looby won major prizes at home and abroad. Yet today his name and works are rarely seen.

With sumptuous cinematography, candid interviews and a striking original score, ‘Looby’ uncovers the life and work of an artist we need to remember.

Following rave reviews at the 2019 Melbourne Documentary Film Festival and its Sydney premiere at the National Art School in February 2020, ‘Looby’ is screening across Australia to mark 100 years of the Archibald Prize.

Please note: All profits from the tickets sold will go to Friends of The Gallery.

Changes to Council services post Covid-19 vaccination target

How people interact with Wellington Shire Council services, including The Wedge will change in coming days when Victoria meets its 80% Covid-19 vaccination target. The direction of the state government is that once the 80% target is reached, Council will only be permitted to allow fully vaccinated people into its buildings. This means all patrons aged 16 and over, and all workers, volunteers and performers aged 12 and over will need to have received two Covid-19 vaccinations. The current prediction for this 80% target is 29 October.

All people entering The Wedge will be required to show one of the following upon request:

– Their vaccination status through the Victorian Government Service Victoria app on their smartphone (available through the Apple App Store or Google Play)
– A printout of their vaccination certificate
– An official letter from their doctor show evidence of a medical exemption

Once the 80% state-wide target is reached, people who cannot produce one of the above will not be able to access Council facilities including The Wedge.
