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, we have provided critical support for early-to-mid career practitioners through professional development resources, curatorial mentorship, and audience engagement to realise quality projects. By affording artists the freedom to explore, experiment and take risks with their work, the Linden Projects Space expands the sphere of contemporary practice, championing emergent forms of art making and critical exchange.
