Château de Linardié

Château de Linardié

Château de Linardié is the name for a once active cultural center located in the South West area of France seven kilometres from Gaillac in the Tarn, France. It operated for 10 years, from 1996 to 2006.

History

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. The project entailed the physical restoration of the Château itself and the establishment of an Association to run its activities. Founder David Marshall began work on the Château on the 8th of January 1996 and the Association Culturelle du Château de Linardié was officially declared on the 6th of November 1996.

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. The Association collaborated with the University of Toulouse le Mirail, where the Director of the Department of Fine Arts and Applied Arts, Xavier Lambert, as well as the Maître des Conférences, Carole Hoffman, were responsible for seminars, colloquia, and conferences. They were especially helpful in helping Linardié develop its artistic policy. 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 the town of Gaillac, which owned the château, Château de Linardié is no longer available for use by the Association.
