GALLERY GORA presents a section on our website dedicated to samples of feedback. It is a way for us to reflect some of the artists' and guests' comments from our most recent exhibitions. Thank you for taking the time to share your greatest experiences with us.

"Your gallery and the artists you represent are impressive!"

"Hello,
Thank you for contacting me and for the opportunity to exhibit.  It sounds great and something that I would be interested in pursuing.  I don't believe I sent a packet to your gallery and I guess I'm curious how you found me and my work? Again thank you for the opportunity..."

"I am a professional fine artist and on your email list. I was admiring your gallery photos. I have a website: where you may view examples of my work. This is by no means my entire portfolio, but a sampling of what I do. In addition to oils, I also do fused stained glass "paintings" on windows. I would like to discuss a possible show with your gallery. May I ask if you are affiliated with the international art association, who features the work of Raymond Furlotte ? I am, have won an award with them, which is why I ask. Your gallery is beautiful and I would cherish the opportunity to exhibit with you. I look forward to your response."

"Hello Lyne, I love the gallery and the food photos..."

"Bonjour- Je viens de reçevoir votre annonce des nouvelles images de Howard Schatz et je suis allée à votre site. C'est très bien et j'adore toutes les photographies que vous avez å vendre. I would like to submit my work for your review. If you prefer I can send samples by email but you can see most of my limited edition images currently for sale here in Toronto at my web site...I hope to hear from you. I do appreciate that you must receive many submissions and that this process takes time. I will check back with you in the new year. Je vous remercie en avance."

« À toute l'équipe de la Galerie Gora- Je voudrais tout simplement vous remerciez pour avoir organisé le vernissage de mon exposition, qui d'après moi, était très réussi. Tous les gens qui sont venu de l'Université Concordia, étudiants et professeurs, ainsi que ma famille, ont été très impressionné par votre galerie et l'installation de mon exposition. »

"Greetings- thank you for your kind email bringing my attention to your gallery, the quality of which is indisputable. If you might be interested in representing my work via your physical or online gallery, I would be delighted to hear of it..."


"Hello- and how have you been? I heard from a customer that they purchased "Adrift Upon the Poppies" from you. Way to go! Just to bring you up to date: I have a show opening here in Portland, Oregon next month and have done a series of paintings used as labels for Kyra Wines (nine varieties so far)."
 
"Great to hear the news about the sale. Keep up the good work."

"Service de traiteur - Mariage à la Galerie Gora de Montreal: Mme Geneviève Lauzon de Perfect Planning a été mandaté pour orchestrer de A à Z la réception de mariage de Catherine Corban et Robin McKechney de Toronto. Les mariés ont impressionné leurs invités par la beauté des lieux, la qualité de la nourriture et du service. Pour débuter, le personnel circulait parmi les convives avec des bouchées froides accompagnées d’un vin rosé. Une parfaite combinaison pour cette magnifique journée d’automne! Après le toast, un repas 5 services attendait les convives. Au plat principal, notre service traiteur proposait 3 choix dont le pavé de centre du rib sauce vigneronne, le 4ème service se composait de fromages fins du Québec, fruits secs et noix. Cette fois-ci les mariés ont choisi de servir leur gâteau de noces et fruits en robe de chocolat vers 23h00, question de donner la chance de perdre quelques calories sur la piste de danse. Quelques jours après la réception, juste avant de partir en voyage de noces pour l’Afrique, Catherine et Robin ont pris le temps d’écrire une lettre de 2 pages pour féliciter tous les intervenants qui ont travaillés à la réussite de cette réception et tout particulièrement à Geneviève pour sa disponibilité et son sens de l’organisation. "

"I discovered Gallery Gora when I lived in the downtown area and after visiting the space on numerous occasions I made it one of my goals in life to have my works displayed there.  I have always enjoyed the type of art usually on display at Gallery Gora..."

" Bonjour Lyne,
It was a pleasure to finally meet you on Tuesday. The  exhibit was beautifully set out and it is a privilege to be showing at Gallery Gora. I look forward to seeing you again soon."

"Thank you again Lyne for helping to organize our wedding reception.  Paul and I had a fabulous night and really loved the venue and how you decorated it.  The food was marvellous and we had so many compliments from our guests regarding the venue and food..."

"Bonjour,
Je tiens à vous remercier pour la soirée exceptionnelle d'hier. Nous sommes très satisfait de la qualité du service que vous avez rendu. Je vous lève mon chapeau, vous avez très bien relevé le défi. Nous avons eu que de bons commentaires sur votre galerie alors toutes nos félicitations.
Merci!"

"J'espère pouvoir trouver le temps d'assister à un de vos vernissages. Au plaisr de vous rencontrer ou de vous lire de nouveau..."

"I just wanted to say thank you for offering me the opportunity to show my work at Gallery Gora. I am very excited to have my work at such a beautiful gallery! Thank you once more..."
M.Pinkas

"An artist who has exhibited with you who has seen my work in person strongly urged me to contact you to see we could work together to show my work.  He speaks very highly of the Gallery. Attached is a recent folio showing some of my recent sculpture.  I will contact you by telephone after you have had a chance to review the work. Looking forward to collaborating with you."

Dear Lyne,
"How are you? I had a few sales in SF and I have been grateful to your service in your gallery and catalog. Looking forward to hearing from you."
Best wishes,
Kikuko

"Dear Lyne,
Thank you very much in all of your assistance with our event last week. The feedback I’m getting back from my colleagues is wonderful. They loved your gallery and said the service and food was just amazing."

"Bonjour Lyne!
Un GROS merci à toi et ton équipe! Ce fut un très beau "party de Noël" et je me fais porte parole de la compagnie au complet. Le souper était excellent et la place magnifique. C'est nous qui vous remercions de cet accueil! Je vais envoyer mon chauffeur récupérer la boisson et les chevalets. "

"Dear Virginie,
We are back to JAPAN. Thank you very much for your help and warm friendship. I am very glad to have held my exhibition at GALLERY GORA. I enjoyed my stay in Montreal. Thank you."
Sincerely yours,
Y. Kuniyuki

" Greetings Lyne and Virginie.... a very belated note to let you know that my artwork arrived safe and sound! Thank you for your professionalism in handling the work. It arrived in good condition and is hanging in the studio awaiting the next exhibition! I was just awarded a solo exhibition in November at Illinois Wesleyan University. I am scrambling for work! Again, it was great to meet both of you. I was honored to be part of your international group show. Please let me know if you could use my work for other exhibitions that you may host and if in Chicago.....please give a call!!"
best regards,
Kathleen Waterloo

".... J'aimerais vous remercier et vous féliciter pour avoir contribué à la réussite des événements de la Fiducie Desjardins lesquels nous tenaient tous très à coeur.
Nous avons reçus bon nombre de commentaires positifs des participants. Je ne voudrais surtout pas oublier votre équipe qui s'est dévouée à nous rendre service avec courtoisie et efficacité.
C'est donc avec plaisir que j'espère pouvoir retravailler avec vous et avec toute ma gratitude, veuillez agréer, chère Lyne, l'expression de mes sentiments les meilleurs."
Louise Littée

   "...... The contemporary Galerie Gora in Montreal found Evan's work on his Web site, contacted him and arranged to hold an exhibition in the fall. He sent them slides, and they chose 20 paintings _ of which were sold.
Next, he'll be one of the artists whose work will be shown March 1st at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York, and Galerie Gora is negotiating for European shows and one in Japan.
Evans says in a good week he can finish four or five paintings but some take longer. A work he did about the World Trade Center bombings looks like a piece of black mesh overlaid with colors.
He points out that it's actually a sheet of graphite with 3,173 slots cut in it-one for each person who died in the terrorist attack......"
(Featured article about contemporary artist Kyle Evan's By Paul Duchene in the Portland Tribune)

" We remembered well our concerts at Gallery Gora. All our guests said it was a wonderful setting for our show: intimate, casual yet elegant. The fact that we could configure the space in various settings is a plus, and the setting make it easy to integrate the audience into the stage so to speak. Our guests certainly welcomed the opportunity to view the art on display at the time. We thank you and Aisha too for your kind assistance in our preparations. I look forward to visiting you again soon, and hopefully with our CD in hand. "
Best Regards,
Kong Kie

" Dear Virginie, Lyne and all the staff at Gallery Gora, Thank you for all your help!" Best Regards,

" Thank you for hosting such a fun reception for the artists! my sister-in-law's mother Madeline Harris and I had a great time at Gallery Gora. The artwork looked engaging and well-placed and handled with care. The juxtaposition of artists helped to let each piece speak to the viewer.
