Linden Projects Space

Applications now open for the Linden Projects Space!

Linden Projects Space launched in August 2019. The space is available for hire and has been designed to create exhibition opportunities for artists and curators living and working on the Southside of Melbourne. We also welcome applications from artists and curators from other areas, though those living and working in the City of Port Phillip will be given preference. We seek applications from artists and curators to apply for group or solo exhibitions.

Linden Projects Space is a unique space. We are working in partnership with the University of Melbourne to provide an Arts Industry Placement program for postgraduate students. The Projects Space is run by a committee of students who have undertaken the Arts Industry Placement Program at Linden New Art. The committee is managed by the Projects Space Coordinator with support from Linden’s Curator and Director.

To explore the space look at the floor plan.
