Established in 2023, JUNCTURE is a biennial prize, awarded to two mid-career artists by Linden New Art. It is a national open callout, with the artists selected by a panel of industry professionals. The two artists will each receive a cash prize of $20,000, to support exciting new directions in their practices, culminating in an exhibition at Linden New Art in 2026. The selection framework for JUNCTURE is defined by a demonstrated history of success, and the potential for substantial future outcomes. It is designed to support radical thinking, conversations, and the development of artistic practice. JUNCTURE is a platform to support those on the precipice of a significant advancement in their practice.
The funds can be used for any purpose in support of the artist’s objectives, such as research, technical experimentation, or working with other creative practitioners to learn, share ideas and develop skills. JUNCTURE aims to relieve the restriction that inhibit artists pursuing their innovative ideas and advancing and pushing their practice. We are looking for artists who are at a juncture in their career, where they are ready to pursue future directions, discovery and risk-taking.
