The owners of Marchmont House, the 18th century Palladian mansion near Greenlaw, have teamed up with the Borders Art Fair to create free, month-long residencies for five mostly Borders-based artists, who will be among the first to use the newly-created Tower Studio in the grounds of the house. Landscape painter Claire Beattie will take up residency in February followed by painter and sculptor Gill Walton and artist and documentary film-maker Rebekah Tolley-Georgiou in March then Rosemary Everett, who makes artist’s books, and still life artist Janet Cleghorn in April.
