History
The Gallery originally featured the works of portrait artist George Pollard and children's illustrator Nan Pollard. In order to attract more visitors we began to feature local artists and their works. A number of local area contests were developed. In recent years the shift has been to feature local resident artists and their works and continue featuring local shows and contests. The Pollard Gallery is part of the Rhode Center For the Arts. The Rhode Theater is home to the Lakeside Players Community Theater. When you shop at the Pollard Gallery all the proceeds go to the restoration fund of this beautiful art deco theater.
