Event Description

Chateau Elan is located north of Atlanta, Braselton, GA and near Commerce, GA -- which is up Highway 85 going toward South Carolina. The facility is beautiful and you can imagine the grounds and vineyards. This is Mother's Day Weekend, and many people will be around. It is a perfect opportunity to do a paint out and show people what we do as plein air artists. Besides the added bonus of creating for ourselves. Toby Reid and I are spearheading the venture and he is talking to Chateau Elan about a future date for a show of our work created there on their grounds. Join us! Sign up! Discussions can be found on three groups: Georgia Plein Air, Eastern US Artist Network, and Southeastern Pastel Society.
Here are the details for the paintout at Chateau Elan - May 8 and 9 from 9 to 5 or later if the Artist wishes.
We will park behind the Winery. The Winery is the building straight in front of you as you turn into the property. Take your first right after entering the property towards the Inn and keep following around until you are behind the Winery.
Go north on I-85 towards Braselton and you will see signs and the Inn on the left.
I will bring a table and a clip board for signing in to put in the parking lot.
The Inn (white table cloth) and the Winery (casual) both serve food if anybody wants. It might be a good idea on Mothers Day to check at the Inn if they are doing reservations.
There are many restaurants turning left out of the property and a Grocery store. There is one gas station ( BP ) but I would not use it as it is very expensive per gallon.
Chateau Elan is not providing anything for us, except to be on their property; so everybody needs to bring what they will need for the days. There are restrooms in the Winery,Spa and the Inn. I don't know if the Stables have restrooms but I would guess that they do. There is another property there called Legends at Chateau Elan that has gates with codes to get in and we have not contacted them as it is a porivate home and golf course division.
Please be courtious to the golfers,Spa and tennis folks that will be there.

Comment by Ginny Dauth on January 27, 2010 at 9:21am: Marsha, I may attend sound like a great opportunity. Do you need a deffinate answer and when?

Comment by Marsha Hamby Savage on January 27, 2010 at 9:29am: Thanks Ginny, don't know the answer yet. It would be nice to have an answer of definite attendees, but I don't think that would preclude someone from coming if they can do so at the last minute.

Comment by Nancy Ellison Everett on January 27, 2010 at 9:29am: What is the deadline to respond? What a great time of year to paint there!

Comment by Marsha Hamby Savage on January 27, 2010 at 9:37am: Nancy, we will post the deadline date when we know more. . . if there is a "real" deadline anyway. But, it would be good as soon as you know you "can" attend, let us know. Thanks.

Comment by amanda fullerton on January 27, 2010 at 9:42am: Hi Marsha.
Thanks for the invite. Unfortunately, I have a conflict. The weekend of the paint out is also the weekend my youngest son graduates college and my first grandchildren (twins) are due by my oldest son and his wife! Very big weekend!
See you next time!
