Sabbia, established in Sydney (Gadigal Land) in 2005, with Director Anna Grigson and the Sabbia team has developed an international reputation as the premier gallery for the representation of Australia’s finest contemporary artists, with a focus on ceramics, glass and fibre art. Sabbia is a representational gallery working with individual practitioners in addition to artists from remote Indigenous art centres across Australia.
Sabbia’s artists are a diverse group that are internationally renowned for the creation of dynamic and innovative works of art. They demonstrate the variety, quality and growth of the ceramics, glass and fibre art movements within Australia and together are a compelling exhibiting presence. The gallery presents a comprehensive yearly schedule of solo exhibitions by our stable of artists, and curated group exhibitions, including the annual Masters series and the biannual Indigenous Together series.
In addition to its exhibition program, Sabbia offers its Australian and international collectors consultancy and management services. In 2025 Sabbia celebrates its 20 year anniversary, having been committed to the representation and exhibition of Australia’s most exciting artists. Sabbia is dedicated to the ongoing placement of our artists within both major private collections and public institutions worldwide.
Sabbia respectfully acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work. We honour Elders past and present, and extend this respect to all First Nations peoples, recognising their enduring connection to Country, culture, and community.
At Sabbia, we offer an extensive suite of curatorial and acquisitive services, advising our clients in the meaningful placement of art in residential, corporate and institutional settings. Led by Sabbia’s Director, Anna Grigson, we provide tailored assistance for clients seeking to build their collection, supporting both the acquisition and sale of artworks while enriching our clients’ engagement with contemporary art and high craft. Working closely with our artists, we offer site‑specific artwork design, placement, and personalised commission opportunities.
Sabbia specialises in facilitating bespoke commissions that respond to the unique character of a space. We work collaboratively with our represented artists alongside artists working outside of our gallery stable to help develop site-specific concepts tailored to our clients’ needs and vision. Each commission is approached with sensitivity to the artist’s practice, resulting in works that are both deeply personal and artistically significant.
Our consulting services provide collectors with informed, independent advice grounded in decades of curatorial experience. Whether you are beginning a collection or refining an established one, we offer guidance on artwork selection, provenance, and long‑term collection strategy. Through private appointments and personalised recommendations, we help clients navigate the breadth of contemporary ceramics, glass and fibre with confidence and clarity.
Thoughtful placement is essential to the experience of art within a space. Sabbia provides professional advice on the positioning, lighting and environmental considerations that enhance the presence of each artwork. Our team manages installation with museum‑standard care, ensuring every piece is displayed safely and to its greatest visual effect in homes, corporate environments or public institutions.
