A New Beginning
Acclaimed glass artist Tim Tate reunites with Habatat for a special launch presentation during the Glass54 Art Experience, showcasing his evolving socially driven, new media work alongside an important collaboration with artist Michael Janis. This moment marks a powerful new chapter, offering collectors and the art world a rare opportunity to experience the renewed collaboration at the height of both artist and gallery’s influence.
The Common Thread 2026
Glass remembers heat. Under heat becomes something unified, luminous, and whole. The Common Thread emerges from that same alchemy: two artists, one surface, and the ancient human insistence that we are never truly alone.
The glass holds all of it: the seasons turning without asking permission, the faiths we carry like stones worn smooth in a pocket, the loves that outlast the reasons we thought we needed to begin them.


The Common Thread 2026
What binds us is rarely visible.
The Common Thread does not argue for our connection. It simply makes it visible — suspended in glass, enduring as the earth that gave it form.
We are made whole by each other.
