  • Melbourne Art Print Fair: edition1 is hosted at Linden New Art.

    Linden New Art is a public contemporary art gallery renowned for presenting exhibitions, events and programs.

    The historic Linden mansion is a Victorian-era heritage listed building. The mansion was built in 1871 by notable architect, Alfred Friedrich Kursteiner (1829-1897) and the surrounding gardens were designed by landscape gardener and botanist, William Guilfoyle (1840-1912).

    Originally a family home, the mansion operated as an exclusive private hotel known as Linden Court for a period. During this time, additions were built at the back of the mansion, now used as the Linden Projects Space and Linden Workshop Space. In 1959, the National Trust of Australia, recognised the historic and architectural significance of the building. The mansion was purchased in 1983 by the St Kilda City Council, now part of the City of Port Phillip.

    Linden opened to the public as an art gallery in 1986. In 2017 the City of Port Phillip supported a significant upgrade to the gallery. With improved street access and a new lift to the second level exhibition space the building is DDA compliant.

    Today, the heritage-listed building is a free entry public art gallery and a significant cultural destination in St Kilda.
