Our First EXPOSITION & a WONDERFUL Fête! | Manor & Maker

[@susanwatson1599]

Congrats on the success of your first Art Expo. Such a diverse collection of fine art and sculpture. It's a lot of work to curate a show and you both did a splendid job.

[@ManorandMaker]

Thank you so much!

[@laelcampbell1935]

From Calgary and have been following your vlogs and this one made me smile so much because I think you've gone and done it! I believe your hospitality and generosity as hosts have officially placed you firmly in your region as a place where art and artist are valued and your contribution to your community has been recognised. Well done!

[@ManorandMaker]

Thanks so much we hope to continue to build up our local area as we expand our business.

[@jayneturnbull5041]

What a great celebration the village put on, very well done, how exciting, those fireworks wow. The chateau looked fantastic with the additional lighting. Wonderful to see so many people enjoying the art on the chateau and the grounds....a dream come true for you both. Well done.

[@elizabethheatley22]

Well done! The chateau was such a great backdrop for all the beautiful art!

[@sandywallace218]

Congratulations Steve and Sarah, it looks like quite a turnout at your exposition, lovely modern artwork and what fun weekend celebrations. It is so nice to see people out and enjoying France again although hot, humanity is not waiting anymore for the perfect environment to enjoy life. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@helendezendorf5532]

Love Steve’s self portrait

[@colinmcknight9605]

The art expo is such a great idea! It looks like a great way to showcase the chateau as well as helping to build community. Well done!

[@robintatina9819]

Congratulations Steve and Sarah!! Looks like a fabulous event and so incredibly well received! Here's to many more!

[@marjorykephart4700]

The exposition was a great success! All the art was presented beautifully. A wonderful event for your town and the surrounding towns to look forward to every year. No doubt, the word will spread. People will come from everywhere to display their artwork and to participate in your annual art expositions. Congratulations!

[@barbaramurray4191]

Sarah you summed it up beautifully " A triumph ". The setting out of the art works is also to be commended 👏🏻👏🏻 I wonder, before you moved here, if you knew the village was so hospitable and the great celebrations it held. It's sheer genius to have held the Exposition in the 'manner' in which you 'made' it 😆 I'm sure it will be an annual event 🤞🏻

[@susannoonan1]

Enjoyed the art expo. Don't be afraid to slow down and spend more time covering each artwork in the future, even it becomes a separate video. It is wonderful to see what is going on in other parts of the world in the world of art.

[@leonorahogarth3070]

Truly wonderful vlog. So pleased for you both. Loved the art work accompanied by Debussy. Good choice!

[@CathyMiller0711]

Congrats on a successful exposition! The art was wonderful and your team did a great job on display. I know you must be thrilled with the turnout. I also can't get over how many people turn out for events in these small villages. It's just great.

[@k.j.2481]

You guys are brave!!! I'm sure this was way beyond your comfort zone. Working with local artists, what a successful project.

[@albertpeckham8708]

The paperwork sculpture is spectacular! The people are so polite and appreciative of your generosity.

[@gayejani350]

Well, this was wonderful! Choosing your Lady Chateau for such fabulous events is going to really pay off. Everything seemed just perfect. And your local village is ideal. Congratulations on pulling off a marvellous weekend and making lots of new friends.🥰🇨🇦

[@tracerloenan8020]

I am 72 and have been collecting Art since I was 15 and got my 1st job. Wonderful exhibition and my hat is off to every presenter. My personal taste varies widely. Here my first choice would be Annie FAVREAU, with Steve a close second. This was one of the very best events to be held and sure brought a lot of people together. Well done.

[@bowiefb]

Congratulations Sara and Stephen! And congratulations to all of the artists. A super installation of works and fabulous turnout. The food looked marvelous too! Bravo!

[@andreacatzel8259]

Huge congrats! Loved seeing the artwork…. Especially Steve’s self portrait. Loved all the sculptures in the garden. What a superb setting for this! You must feel so proud of your lovely Château. And catering… on top of it all. Well done! 👏⭐️👏⭐️👏⭐️

[@kathyevans2968]

I bet the Canadian Scottish festival organisers are missing you all the more watching all you hard work bringing this art expo together. Life and it’s joys are what you make of them.. thank you for sharing this!

[@helenmcneil3339]

I just loved Alain Descombes chair. Great job folks.

[@westpacificmarketanalytics2384]

The Maire and community must be so proud of you both! Reaching out and being a part in France is so important to becoming part of the culture! Great job!

[@christineh5790]

That was all so enjoyable, thank you Sarah and Steve and full marks for your first exposition! Such a great turn out to see your art exhibits and although I’m no art expert but I think Steve’s paintings are the creme de la creme of paintings. 💕👌

[@jonimarchese7655]

The weekend looked like a lot of fun, the art was interesting, I loved a lot of the sculptures I found myself drawn to Annie's work. Great job on your event. love from NY,

[@michelinewalker6361]

Sara and Steve I'm a fellow Canadian that never comments but watches all the time. I just had to tell you that the chateau looked resplendent and the quality of artists was amazing, Well done both of you.

[@cheriesharp234]

[@zander8018]

It's nice to see the Chateau shine, great art pieces and full of Canadian Hospitality... Ya, I'm waving the flag ... Cheering you on from BC..

[@jillmjohnson4606]

It looks like you had a successful exhibition, good for you both and your helpers! I loved seeing the Artwork too. Thank you for slowly taking us through each display. This was a really great vlog!! 🌻

[@EmilyBoltz]

This was wonderful! Great way to coonect with people and show your beautiful Chateau!❤️

[@carolinegooder7091]

I am on my third viewing of the Vlog, as I enjoyed it so much. Bravo! As a painter and sometime sculptor, I needed a slower paced walk through to really see all the details of the art. Is there an inexpensive catalog of the show available? I am now at the stage of looking up all the artists and art in detail to drain all of enjoyment complete out of the show. I could have happily bought half the art if I could afford it. My stepmother was/is a professional painter. She exchanged art with other artists when she was young, so her collection is amazing and not just her work. Her work in the family is now spread out over three major houses and a few pieces at four houses. We try not to fight over the major pieces. LOL I had so many questions about what the local Fete was about. A historical back story would have been a great addition. I look forward to your next event.

[@wendigareau7298]

Congratulations on the success of your first exposition! So much talent, I especially like Steve’s art.

[@janehampton6717]

Well done guys. How fantastic so many people turned up. The painting and sculptures were amazing. The food looked yummy 🥰🥰🥰

[@shannonphillips9344]

What a magical part of the world you live in. So nice to see the Chateau shown to such advantage and that you are opening your doors for people to share! Congrats on your success and to the artists as well - the work is truly stunning. Keep up the great work, Sara & Steven!

[@dianepelley7765]

What an amazing, successful first event! You must be so proud of your accomplishments! Woohoo! 👏👏👏👏 Hugs from Toronto 🤗🇨🇦

[@chazikins]

Omg was that the wax of Claude Debussy? 🙌 yes please!

[@chazikins]

People tend to slow it down and make it romantic, but the way he plays it himself, it’s about the rollercoaster of life. Fear, passion, life, love. I live for his wax roll version. It’s too good.

[@glanmiregal6513]

Stunning Artwork. Beautifully presented. You guys are really finding your groove. Congratulations.

[@margretfriedrich2686]

"And a good time was had by one and all!!"👍👍👍🇨🇦

[@kimclarke5018]

The art exposition was a great idea. Well done. Would have loved to purchase that paper wing. Beautiful. Definitely fun to hang with the artists.

[@melissahalbert9455]

How absolutely wonderful! That is how I imagine a Chateau to be! Full of people milling about, having a bit of a snack and a drink engaging in conversations about the beauty surrounding them. Well done!

[@ManorandMaker]

That’s what we are hoping for too.

[@JourneytotheChateau]

Looks like a success and it all looked wonderful! Nice job! 😀👍

[@normamurray4450]

Wow, fellow Canadians, I am so proud of you! What a fantastic showing of Art and your beautiful home! I didn't live so far away in B.C., Canada, I would have been there for sure! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Good morning Steve & Sara, that went down beautifully. The Art Exhibition was stunning. The grouping was great as well as the garden art. Such talent!! Steve your self-portrait has so much character, it is lovely, I think Sara should grab that and place it somewhere safe. It was good to see the Artists, I think it was a stunning exhibition and hopefully you had a good time at the presentation. The platters were very smart, and I believe enjoyed by all. Try not to wait too long for the next event, you have the people interested, keep them coming. This was a lovely video, thank you for showing and sharing, all the people present, visitors, helpers and exhibitors and not forgetting the owners, are all lovely. Keep going, many blessings and kind regards.

[@sharonnicholson7593]

You had me at Claire de Lune 🙌🏻 my favourite piece of music ever💜 Actually it was wayyyy before that but it’s in my head now. What a fabulous achievement, the art works were amazing, especially Steve’s brilliant work🥰 loved the whole journey today 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks so much 🤩

Wonderful success and fireworks 💥 that tree is a must have Steve for the chateau 😃

WOW! Congratulations to you both on such a successful event - a spectacular turn out and weather to match. The graphics on the "flyer" (so much more) were both bold and elegant. Sara BRAVO(A) on your 1st French speaking radio interview. Stephen from the time I first saw your work my favorite piece is the Old Man Seated (have no idea of the official title). Again so happy that the first Exposition at Charteau de Saint-Germain-des-Pres was so well received and attended! On to the next!
