Molly Rappoli

Founder of Galaray House

Molly Rappoli is the co-founder of Galaray House, a contemporary art gallery in Boston's SoWa Arts District dedicated to making fine art collecting approachable, inspiring, and deeply personal. Alongside co-founder Ray Ball, she shapes the gallery's curatorial direction and collector experience, helping build its reputation for thoughtful, emotionally resonant exhibitions.

An Editorial Eye for Contemporary Art

With a background in magazines and marketing, Molly brings a refined editorial sensibility to the world of contemporary art. Her experience in visual storytelling and content curation directly informs how she builds exhibitions and selects artwork, with a particular focus on how individual pieces interact within a space and connect with collectors on an emotional level.

Before co-founding Galaray House, Molly developed a deep appreciation for curation, design, and the power of visual communication across creative and editorial industries. That foundation continues to shape her approach to gallery programming and artist selection today.

Building a Gallery Worth Visiting

Molly co-founded Galaray House with the belief that collecting original contemporary art should feel welcoming rather than intimidating. She recognized an opportunity to create a gallery centered on thoughtfully curated, mid-range contemporary artwork that is both accessible and highly considered.

Her goal was simple: build a space where collectors can slow down, engage with art meaningfully, and discover work that feels personal and lasting. That philosophy is embedded in everything about the Galaray House experience, which is intentionally warm, relaxed, and engaging rather than formal or exclusive.

Curatorial Philosophy

Molly's curatorial perspective gravitates toward artists who explore color, composition, line, and movement with confidence and intention. She is drawn to bold, visually distinct works that make a statement while remaining livable within residential and interior design contexts.

Under her direction, Galaray House has developed an eclectic but cohesive program spanning abstraction and realism, unified by a highly intentional selection process. Her guiding principle: strong contemporary art should be both visually compelling and emotionally resonant.

A Commitment to Collectors and Artists

For Molly, a successful gallery experience is one that stays with visitors long after they leave. Whether working with first-time buyers or seasoned collectors, she is committed to making every interaction feel inspired, comfortable, and personal.

Molly is especially passionate about helping collectors find artwork that creates lasting emotional impact. Together with the team at Galaray House, she is dedicated to supporting emerging and established artists while serving as a trusted resource for collectors, interior designers, and the broader Boston art community.

Molly holds a degree from Fairfield University and lives in Winchester, Massachusetts with her husband and three children. Get in touch to connect with Molly and the Galaray House team.
