About Us
" We had recently popped into Sabra Gallery while waiting for Sushi take-out, and the owners were so nice that we had to come back for the opening. The place is incredible -the atmosphere is comfortable and fun, the art is beautiful, and there are things (including natural soaps and jewelry) that I love to buy. In fact, my mother-in-law has pointedly hinted about the next gift she hopes to receive - one of the vases there. Go...if you haven't been, go." Adrianne
"Sabra Gallery! I love it! I went to the opening on Saturday night, had a great time. I met the artist of one of my favorite paintings in the gallery. I can't wait to go to the next Sabra art opening. I think it is a great addition to the village!" Amy Herr
Co-Owners Stephanie Halpern and Caryn Liss envisioned a gallery space that would represent the diversity of the East Atlanta community while catering to the influx of residents and the booming commercial district in the East Atlanta Village. Sabra Gallery was created in 2005 from this vision.
Being an East Atlanta resident and having experience working in various art galleries, Stephanie saw the need for more art advocacy in the community. She has a great appreciation and an enthusiasm for all that is creative and unique. Stephanie sees Sabra Gallery as an opportunity to share this creativity with the community in a way that is knowledgeable, warm, and affordable.
Caryn Liss, also an East Atlanta resident, has been an art teacher and professional artist for over 6 years. Having a passion for integrating art and culture into community life, Caryn will be Sabra’s resident artist whose new and existing works will be showcased at the Gallery. Caryn has worked extensively with the East Atlanta Community Association (EACA) and also serves as the 2004-2005 liaison between EACA and the East Atlanta Business Association.
It is Stephanie and Caryn’s wish for Sabra Gallery to be not only a vehicle for their own desires and hopes, but to also be a stepping-stone for East Atlanta’s community enrichment, and to provide an opportunity for local creativity to grow and flourish.
