Arts & Culture – Retrospect: Community Installation Project, Wodonga
Artist Vicki Luke will lead the installation of a series of memory veils reflecting community thought, voice, creativity and passion – that’s the Memory Imaginarium, one of three key installations during their final exhibition Retrospect: Community Installation Project.
This installation will also feature a projection that recalls the artwork from exhibitions featured over the past 15 years.
Throughout the exhibition, there will be a series of installations and activities facilitated by local artists which will allow everyone to leave their mark on the gallery.

Food & Wine – Prosecco Food Pairing Surprises, King Valley
If you’re looking for a little outing you can do in the King Valley, consider a food and wine matching experience – Pop and Fizz, Prosecco Food Pairing Surprises at Pizzini Wines.
Be led through a 45-minute session that will introduce lesser-known aspects of the Prosecco personality. For example, who would have thought Prosecco could pair so perfectly with the likes of popcorn and blue cheese?
