Linden New Art St Kilda Accessible Experience Melbourne

Linden New Art St Kilda Accessible Experience Melbourne is a public gallery located in the bayside suburb of St Kilda. They are a conversation-driven organisation championing bold new ideas. With a focus on mid-career artists, they pursue inclusive and thought-provoking programs creating new experiences and engagement through contemporary art.

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

The historic Linden mansion is a Council-owned Victorian-era heritage-listed building. After extensive renovations in 2018 were made for it to become DDA compliant with structural improvements, improved street access and a new lift to the second-level exhibition space allowing more people the opportunity to explore the gallery.

It is their top priority to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience to all visitors and companions. All feedback is welcome to ensure our continued improvement and what we are doing well. Furthermore, if there is anything we can do to enhance your visit, please do not hesitate to contact us.
