ABOUT LINDEN PROJECTS SPACE
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.
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 artmaking and critical exchange.

“Having recently moved to Melbourne from Perth, exhibiting at Linden Projects Space has helped as a starting block to begin to build an audience of collectors and eventually gallery representation. I have started the process of gaining a new audience including collectors and curators, selling a number of works, and being invited to show my work at a major regional museum.”
— Jarrad Martyn
“As curators, we all benefitted enormously from exhibiting at Linden Projects Space. This was the first exhibition any of us had done, and we developed skills relating to managing the realisation of an exhibition from start to finish – including shaping the exhibition premise/theme, working closely with artists and relationship-building (very important), speaking about and promoting the artists and their work to others, and many other facets of exhibition-making. This has given us the confidence to work more with artists to develop exhibitions.”

REGISTER FOR DESIGN FRINGE 2024
Registrations for Design Fringe 2024 are now open!
This year’s Design Fringe exhibition celebrates the role of design in fostering togetherness. It highlights the power of the table as a gathering place, inspiring new forms of connection and understanding, and highlighting the vibrant intersections of culture, conversation and food.
Design Fringe provides a space for designers to exhibit innovative creations and push the limits of traditional notions of design, featuring a broad cross section of works from textiles, jewellery, furniture, ceramics, through to architectural and civic design.
Registrations close midnight Sunday 7 July.
