Linden Postcard Show 2016

Overview

That most undervalued of art forms, the humble postcard, gets its time to shine at the latest edition of the Postcard Show at Linden New Art in St Kilda. Now in its 27th year, this unique exhibition showcases hundreds of small-format contemporary artworks submitted by professional artists and local amateurs alike. And why wouldn't you contribute something when there's more than $10k up for grabs?

This year's exhibition kicks off on October 21 and runs until January 29. A number of previous winners have submitted new works, including Kelly Sullivan whose piece Boy With The Pearl Earring (pictured) pays tribute to his royal badness, the late great artist formerly known as Prince.

Entry into the exhibition is free, while this year's winners will be decided by a trio of judges from the Castlemaine Art Museum, the Horsham Regional Art Gallery and the La Trobe University Museum of Art.
