Applications have closed for Linden Projects Space exhibition program 2027.

Linden Projects Space is a purpose-built gallery space dedicated to providing artists and curators of all career-levels a supportive environment to test their ideas, experiment, and exhibit their work.

Programmed each year by an open and equitable proposal call-out process, Linden Projects Space presents a diverse, free-to-visit, rotating exhibition program of solo, collaborative, and curatorial projects. We welcome proposals for projects that are critically-engaged, conceptual, cross-disciplinary, site-responsive, participatory, challenging, innovative, and discursive.

Since the Linden Projects Space opened in 2019, it has afforded artists the freedom to explore, experiment and take risks with their work. It expands the sphere of contemporary practice, championing emergent forms of art making and critical exchange.

General applications for the 2027 program have now closed and artists were notified of the outcome by August.

For all enquiries and questions, please contact Hamish Sawyer
