For the past fifteen years Linden has been presenting, with the assistance of the City of Port Phillip, an annual exhibition aimed at showcasing the best of contemporary Indigenous Australian art and promoting it to as broad an audience as possible.
These exhibitions and associated programs have been professionally presented, promoted to a broad Indigenous and non-Indigenous audience and have often led to major acquisitions, commissions, overseas residencies or other significant opportunities for the artists involved.
In 2008 Linden received funding from the Sidney Myer Fund to develop and expand its Contemporary Indigenous Art Program which involved employing a young Indigenous Curator. This funding was continued in 2009 through the generous support of the Lord Mayors Charitable Trust. In 2010 the Helen MacPherson Smith Trust supported the exhibition and tour of Jus' Drawn by the collective proppaNOW. NETS Victoria will be touring Linden's annual contemporary Indigenous art exhibition throughout regional Victoria.
