Lucy Wise - Salt Album Launch -
Candelo @ Kameruka Hall
Sun 27th Sept 2:30pm

Join us for an afternoon of spine-tingling folk songs and instrumental playing from award-winning songwriter, Lucy Wise and her band, who are stopping to play in Candelo at the Kameruka Hall as part of Lucy’s East Coast Australian tour of her new album, Salt. Doors open 2:30pm for a 3pm start. Cocktails, beer, coffee + gelato will be available from The Keg & Kettle van.

Lucy Wise creates music that gently opens a door you didn’t realise was closed. Blending contemporary folk with pop-inflected melodies, intricate guitar work and poetic lyricism, her songs make space for reflection on longing, connection and the inner lives we carry. Lucy’s songwriting is rich with imagery and insight, often articulating experiences that are deeply felt but rarely spoken. Her warm presence and storytelling create a sense of shared experience between artist and audience.

Originally from South West Australia and now based in Central Victoria, Lucy has toured extensively across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US, and appeared at festivals including Woodford, Port Fairy and the National Folk Festival. By late 2026, she will have released five albums and two EPs, including her fifth album Salt. Her work has earned multiple accolades, including Solo Artist of the Year at the 2024 Australian Folk Music Awards.

24/05/2026

Candelo Arts Society and the Bokeh team are hosting a community lantern-making workshop with visual artist Tracey Johnson on Monday June 1st in lead up and preparation for BOKEH.

Tracey creates immersive light and lantern installations that bring warmth, colour, and connection to outdoor events and community spaces. Based in Tathra, she travels across Australia delivering workshops and large-scale illuminated artworks that encourage creativity, participation, and storytelling.

For BOKEH, Tracey will create a Wishing Tree installation featuring illuminated bamboo and paper lanterns suspended in a tree. Festival attendees will be invited to add written wishes and messages to coloured paper tags attached to the lanterns, allowing the artwork to grow and evolve throughout the evening.

To create the lanterns, Tracey will lead a hands-on 2.5-hour community workshop. Participants will learn traditional lantern-making techniques while contributing directly to the final BOKEH installation. Lanterns can be collected and taken home after the event.

Workshop Details
Monday 1st June 2026
9:30am – 12:00pm
All materials and LED lights included
Full workshop facilitation by Tracey Johnson
No cost for the participants

This workshop offers a beautiful opportunity for creativity, community participation, and connection, culminating in a collaborative illuminated artwork for BOKEH 2026 to light up the darkness.

Please email [email protected] to sign up for the workshop. Places are limited so get it quick.

Call for Artists. We are now inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) from artists, makers and creative practitioners to be part of Bokeh, a community arts event transforming the Candelo park and hall into a temporary immersive landscape of light, sound and installation.

Bokeh is a celebration of place and imagination, where the artworks interact with nature, pathways, and the public as they move through the spaces. We welcome proposals across a wide range of mediums including (but not limited to) light-based works, installations, sculpture, sound art, projection, interactive or participatory pieces and site-responsive work.

About the event:
Bokeh exhibition will take place in the Candelo park and hall at night June 13th, 6pm-8pm. The event is designed to be atmospheric, accessible, and family-friendly, encouraging slow wandering and moments of wonder to light up the darkest month. Last event in 2024 we had about 350 visitors to the exhibition.

We are particularly interested in works that respond to the landscape/building, explore light and shadow and create sensory or immersive experiences.

All installations need to be self sufficient in terms of projectors, speakers, screens, lights and the set up of your exhibit. We will provide electrical power. As a non-for-profit event run by volunteers, all ticket sale income will be shared equally among artists.

There are indoor and outdoor sites. If you have a specific area where your artwork needs to go, please let us know. But understand that you may not get your first preference, we will work together to create the next best location for you.

EOI closing date: 30 April, artists notified by 15 May

To apply, please complete the EOI form in the link
