Château de Linardié

Château de Linardié functioned with the financial support from the town of Gaillac (led by its dynamic Mayor Charles Pistre), from the Department of the Tarn, and from the Midi-Pyrénées region.

Château de Linardié employed secretarial and administrative personnel and appointed as artistic director, Danielle Delouche, a graduate from the University of Sorbonne VIII, Paris, and a specialist in Art History, who has been a contributor to numerous art and design periodicals.

Another key person was Francis Pratt, a former research fellow at the University of Stirling in Scotland where he was a founder member of the Vision Group.

Due to legal difficulties encountered by Gaillac, the town was forced to cede ownership of the Château in September 2006.

It is no longer available to the Association and is now rapidly falling back into the state of ruin from which David Marshall rescued it in 1996.
