Dear Catherine,

Back in Paris, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the wonderful opening night at the Majestic Gallery in Montsûrs. Your attention to every detail of the exhibition, your vision, and your sensitivity allowed us to showcase our works in an exceptional way, and I thank you for that. You and your team created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for conversation and discovery.

We were very touched by your kindness. Moving part of the exhibition to allow access for Johanna, who uses a wheelchair, was an incredibly generous gesture, and she is very aware of it. Thank you for your warm welcome; everything was perfect. Thank you, Catherine, for your heartfelt and engaging speech. Thank you to everyone for the immense amount of work and organization.

Danièle BIENFAIT - Sculptor (06-12-2025)

Dear Madam,

I want to thank you for the quality of the work you and your entire behind-the-scenes team, as you like to call them, have done. I love Italy and have been there several times. I heard about the invitation to exhibit in Italy and I've already applied. I would be delighted to see your team again and the artists I had the pleasure of speaking with last night.

Sabrina ROCHE - Painter (06-12-2025)

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire MGM team for organizing and managing my presence at the Graine de Vie exhibition. Thanks to your commitment, professionalism, and dedication, this event was a resounding success, even though sales didn't materialize. We know that things are very difficult in the art world right now… Your support and involvement allowed my work to be showcased in the best possible conditions. I particularly appreciated your consistently warm welcome, the meticulousness of your organization, and your attention to every detail. It was an enriching experience, made possible thanks to you. I sincerely thank you for your invaluable assistance and hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with you again in the future.

Please accept, Catherine and all members of the association, my highest regards.

I was very impressed by Catherine's attentiveness and that of all the volunteers. You do an excellent job while conveying warmth and care, well done! Furthermore, I left "The Great International Exhibition 2024" with the "People's Choice Award for Sculpture." Thank you.

I had the pleasure of exhibiting at this edition and, to top it all off, of receiving the wetpaint gallery prize.

Hello, back home after this wonderful adventure, I want to thank you first for the flawless organization.

THANKS !

Anne Procureur - Sculptor (28/01/2025)

___________

Thank you for demonstrating that in a small town like Montsûrs, a painting and sculpture gallery open to all has its place, because it awakens our senses and our sensitivity to an art that some of us may find inaccessible and irrelevant. Thanks to all of you, this proves otherwise. Thank you again for the quality and diversity of your work.

Brigitte Houdayer (01/07/2025)

___________

To all members and Catherine Guillet, President
I hope that in Mayenne, the Christmas celebrations were filled with the gentleness and wonder of His Light. Thank you for your beautiful letter and for your commitment to artists, as well as for the warm sentiments that accompany it. I also send you my very best wishes for 2025. May this New Year bring everyone happiness and health, courage and serenity, and may MGM continue to carry the torch of art through its projects and generosity. Until next time. With gratitude and fraternal regards.
Marie Fang, Sculptor and Painter (30/12/2024)

Congratulations to the gallery and its growth, and especially to all the volunteers and members of the association. What a magnificent gallery! I was able to exhibit at the very beginning with my friends and my father, and I so wish I could have been there with you to witness its wonderful evolution.

Joëlle Troussier - Painter (2/01/2024)

___________

I wish the entire Majestic Gallery team all the best for 2024! As Wassily Kandinsky so aptly put it, "Painting is an art, and art as a whole is not a vain creation of objects that are lost in the void, but a power that has a purpose and must serve the evolution and refinement of the human soul."

Paule Candela (31/12/2023)

___________

Your exhibition is remarkably well organized. I have no doubt that future editions will be even better. Thank you for your generosity, your infectious enthusiasm, and your good humor. An artist couldn't dream of a better exhibition. Sincerely,

As a painter and creator of French-language comic strips living in London, I was impressed by the quality of your previous exhibition and by the value you place on artists and their work, which is why I wish to make my modest contribution to your catalogue.

A heartfelt THANK YOU for everything you do to promote both established talents and those still relatively unknown. You pave a wonderful path for everyone. I wish you a 2024 at least as successful as the last. Warmly,

A huge thank you for this superb exhibition! Thank you for everyone's professionalism and kindness. Catherine's opening speech is now circulating in Belgium, where it has impressed many artists. I must say I've never heard a gallery owner understand the lives and feelings of the artists she represents so well! I also discovered the Mayenne region, which I didn't know and where I still have so much to explore. I've also been contacted about exhibiting in the Vendée. Thank you again for everything!
Martine MAGRITTE - Sculptor (February 9, 2023)

___________

Following the opening, I wanted to congratulate you on your speech, which evoked so many emotions and beautiful things. Bravo! I believe it's the first time I've heard such a beautiful, sincere, and profound speech. Looking forward to more!

Thank you very much for your work and hospitality.

I immediately felt at ease.

You have a great team dedicated to serving art.

I was happy with my time at MGM. It's a shame it's so far away for someone from Alsace.

Looking forward to seeing you again.

Best regards

Thank you to all the volunteers who brought together so much talent in your beautiful Gallery (let's not be too modest)

And thank you also to Sandra for her very...colorful text, inspired by my paintings, which I will insert into my blog.

Looking forward to our next meeting, best regards.

Anne-Marie Bernardi (Painter) 2021

Doing for the sake of doing is not doing: things must first and foremost have meaning!

And at the Majestic Gallery Montsûrs, they have them, thanks to a team of volunteers more pro than the pros, who love (really) the artists, who respect (really) them, and who do (really) everything to ensure that they work in the best conditions.

I could say tons of things, but it would embarrass many organizers whose primary goal is above all to rely on artists to promote their events.

Sometimes, we have to say what is.

So from the bottom of my heart: thank you to Catherine, the gallery manager, and to the whole team of volunteers for these wonderful weeks of exhibition which ended yesterday under an extraordinary Mayenne light, thus punctuating the kindness, the quality, the truth of a sincere artistic action.

We would like to always feel respected like we do in this gallery. We would like artists to always be treated with such care, wherever they exhibit.

Véronique Chambeau (Sculptor) 2021

___________

Thank you to Majestic Gallery Montsûrs for all the attention you give to our artistic creations, and a big thank you to the organizers and volunteers.

Laurence Royer (Painter) 2021

___________

Opening (masked) but very friendly, thank you all for your welcome, a big thank you to the volunteers who give their time and share their smiles, see you soon.

Thank you, Madam, for this wonderful exhibition, your warm welcome, and thank you to your entire team. And also, thank you for the closing gift; I've never experienced such a gesture at any of the exhibitions I've visited. Finally, I love the playful touch during these masked days: "Sketch a smile." THANK YOU!
