POLLAKS operates at the intersection of art, space, and everyday life.
Founded by Leila Pollak and Nikolai Pollak, the platform emerged from a shared observation: meaningful art is often confined to formal settings, while the spaces we inhabit daily remain visually and culturally underutilised. POLLAKS was created to bridge this gap — integrating contemporary art into environments where people naturally gather, interact, and experience.
Through carefully curated exhibitions in restaurants, bars, cafés, and hospitality venues, POLLAKS transforms familiar interiors into evolving cultural landscapes. Each collaboration is developed with intention—considering not only the artworks themselves, but their dialogue with the architecture, atmosphere, and rhythm of the space.
Our approach is both curatorial and strategic. We work closely with artists to present their work in ways that expand visibility and context, while supporting venues in elevating their identity through thoughtful artistic integration. The result is a model that benefits all sides: artists gain access to new audiences and sales opportunities; venues enhance their cultural relevance; and visitors encounter art in a setting that feels immediate, unforced, and accessible.
