“I had boots on the ground, and I learned and I grew and I got better, and before I knew it I had one of the most beautiful galleries in the world.” “It was really happenstance,” Rice said, noting she never set out to build a gallery and didn’t have an an arts education. She began to get more involved in the business of the gallery, and along with her former partner, Richard Polak, opened the gallery she runs today.
A group of friends created a cooperative gallery where she began to promote and sell art.
Rice first supported herself by wood-turning and sold plates, bowls and table lamps that she made. Rice, who grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and attended college upstate, hitchhiked to Cape Cod with a friend about 30 years ago and never left. The journey to Provincetown was not one owner Marla Rice ever imagined. PROVINCETOWN - Over the last 28 years, the Rice Polak Gallery has become an institution of contemporary art along Commercial Street.
