Rice Polak Gallery — Attraction in Provincetown

For over 20 years, a visit to the Rice Polak Gallery has become a ritual during my annual trip to Ptown. 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. Each year, I enjoy visiting to see the new works by the artists I have come to enjoy, to see which new artists Marla has added to the gallery, and which piece speaks to me, and something always does.
