About Habatat
The oldest and largest gallery in the United States devoted exclusively to contemporary glass.
Established in 1971 in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, Habatat is the oldest and largest art gallery in the United States devoted exclusively to artists working with glass as their medium. Our 16,000-square-foot Michigan gallery—complete with a dedicated vault—has become a destination for collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary studio glass from around the world.
Our mission is to serve collectors both public and private, developing collections and promoting the artists whom we believe should be recognized in our generation and beyond. We work closely with institutions and museums to create exhibitions that have been displayed in more than 100 public institutions.
