At present various sections of the archive (not in possession of SNGMA) are stored in inadequate and temporary spaces in Edinburgh. They need to be housed all under one roof in a spacious and secure new home. The Demarco Gallery does not have the funding even to rent adequate premises, so the very generous commitment by Johnny and Sandra Watson, owners of Skateraw, is a godsend. They are totally convinced of the importance to Scotland of Richard’s work. The newly built 9000 sq. ft insulated grain store is not only a store but also a great exhibition space. Award winning architect Malcolm Fraser has already inspected the site and will be able to advise us on the ‘fitting out’ requirements.
