We are excited to announce the return of the Linden Postcard Show 2024 – 2025. Now in its 34th year, the Postcard show is a much-loved annual highlight of Linden’s exhibition program.

Like all things heading into middle age, the Postcard Show has evolved over the years. Following the positive response to last year’s exhibition, we are pleased to advise that the expanded size allowances will remain this year. 2D artworks can be as big as 60(h) x 60(w) x 10(d)cm, and 3D pieces can be 60(h) x 40(w) x 40(d)cm. Audio visual must be discussed with Linden staff prior to entering and works must come with all required equipment.

We have also streamlined the submission process, by integrating the entry form into our own website, so you can provide us directly with all of your artwork, contact, delivery and payment details.

The Linden Postcard Show is open to everyone. It provides a platform for you to showcase your work to a large and eager audience. No matter what you make or who you are, the Postcard Show is for you. It is a celebration of our diverse, complex, and vibrant artistic community.
 
As well as generating income for artists through artwork sales, the Postcard show is also an important source of income for Linden’s exhibition program, with revenue from entry fees and sales commission going to support the commissioning and presentation of brave new art.

With hundreds of artists contributing up to 1,000 artworks each year, the Postcard Show is a massive logistical undertaking, one that involves a huge amount of extra labour from our team. It is only possible if artists help us make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. We ask that you take time to read the Entry Form, Terms and Conditions, and Frequently Asked Questions in full before submitting your entry. If you have any other queries, please contact curator@lindenarts.org for assistance.
