Sandra Ainsley Gallery Over the past 30 years Sandra Ainsley Gallery has emerged as the leading dealer of contemporary glas

Since she established her first gallery in Hazelton Lanes in Toronto’s Yorkville area in 1984, Sandra Ainsley has developed and nurtured her passion for glass into a thriving and successful business. Sandra Ainsley Gallery expanded in 1989 to become the premier gallery in the financial district’s Exchange Tower. This location allowed Sandra to better meet the needs of both private clients and corporate clients with an impressive roster of international artists. The Exchange Tower space launch in 1989, and the 10th anniversary of Sandra Ainsley Gallery were both celebrated with Dale Chihuly exhibitions. Sandra Ainsley Gallery at The Distillery opened November 2002, with over 2000 people in attendance, and pioneered the largest exhibition by Dale Chihuly ever held in a private gallery. In September 2012, Sandra Ainsley Gallery relocated to an industrial warehouse in the Don Valley Parkway and Eglinton Ave area at 100 Sunrise Ave, Unit 150. With it’s 22 foot ceilings it is an ideal backdrop to show large scale sculpture.

We are excited to be featuring the work of Australian artist Clare Belfrage in the gallery this summer.

Known for her intricate handblown glass vessels, Clare creates mesmerizing works by drawing with fine glass cane, layering each piece through multiple gathers before sandblasting and hand-finishing the surface. The result is a remarkable interplay of light, depth, and movement that invites closer inspection.

Visit us this summer to experience these extraordinary new works in person.

T***s Zynsky’s Endangered Bird Series pays tribute to some of the world’s most vulnerable species. Crafted using her signature filet-de-verre technique - thousands of fine glass threads fused and thermoformed into sculptural vessels. Each sculpture captures the spirit, movement, and fragility of its subject.

We are pleased to introduce Danish artist Annett Biliczki to the gallery.

Biliczki’s work explores the quiet tension between fragility and strength. Her wall works strike a delicate balance between fluidity and precision, each reflecting a careful attention to light, texture, and form

A moment suspended between observation and introspection. With his signature blend of wit and refinement, Dan Dailey distills the human presence into simplified, almost theatrical form.

We are mesmerized by our new sculpture by Czech artist Tomas Hlavicka. Tomas layers and cuts the glass with extraordinary precision, building a rhythmic, almost architectural pattern that radiates from the centre outward.
