Molly Rappoli
Galaray House, Co-founder and Director
About | 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.
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. Molly is drawn to bold, visually distinct works that make a statement while remaining livable within residential contexts.
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.
Molly holds a degree from Fairfield University and lives in Winchester, Massachusetts with her husband and three children.
