ABOUT THE GALLERY
“Provincetown is filled with fine art galleries...but Rice Polak is one of the finest.”
The Rice Polak Gallery holds a prominent place in Provincetown, Massachusetts as one of the primary venues for contemporary art. The gallery represents a select group of emerging and established artists whose work is both contemporary and contemplative. The gallery shows a wide cross-section of artistic approaches, including paintings, works on paper, sculpture, photography and installation.
“I have lost track of the number of paintings and pieces of art I have acquired from the gallery over the years, and I have never regretted a single purchase, in fact, my appreciation of each piece grows.”
HISTORY
Rice Polak was founded by Marla Rice and Richard Polak in 1992 and Marla assumed sole ownership in 2005. “After 31 years I continue to be challenged and excited by the gallery’s artists whose work I find ever changing often humorous, sometimes political and always stimulating”.
CONSULTING SERVICES
As businesses recognize that art has a voice and is a critical component for enhancing the image they want to project, they are turning to reputable art dealers to help them with their collecting. Rice Polak Gallery has met this demand by offering our skilled art consulting services. We will suggest a program for collecting and placing art in your business environment based on your company’s needs and objectives. We also offer this service to individual collectors and will gladly provide onsite consultation.
I am passionate about art and want to help you build your collection. You can see all of our artists online – and on ARTSY and Instagram – but if you are in Provincetown, I hope you will stop by the gallery and introduce yourself!
“Marla herself is reason enough to visit the gallery. She is absolutely delightful - personable, charming, knowledgeable, and never pushy.”
