Entries Open for Linden Postcard Show

Small works, big buzz—entries are now open for the 2026 Linden Postcard Show, St Kilda most popular open access art exhibitions. But hurry, entries close 3 May.

Linden Contemporary Arts has opened entries for the 2026 Linden Postcard Show, inviting artists of all backgrounds and disciplines to take part in one of Australia’s most enduring open‑access exhibitions.

Now in its 36th year, the Postcard Show has become a much‑loved fixture of Linden’s exhibition calendar, annually attracting hundreds of artists and presenting up to 1,000 works. The exhibition is open to everyone, with no selection process—once an entry is submitted and paid, it is guaranteed inclusion.

Artists may submit up to three works across 2D and 3D formats, with modest size limits designed to encourage diversity and accessibility. Entry fees start at $45 for one work, with discounted rates available for students and free entry for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists.

The 2026 exhibition coincides with Linden’s 40th anniversary, and participants are invited to make an optional donation to support the organisation’s ongoing artistic program. All proceeds from entry fees and sales commissions contribute directly to future exhibitions and artist opportunities.
