Molly Rapp (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist and educator working across sculpture, installation, photography, and time-based media. Her practice investigates relationships between power, perception, identity, and institutional systems through material experimentation, spatial interventions, and photographic processes. Working across physical and lens-based media, Rapp explores how materials, images, and objects shape our understanding of ourselves and the structures around us.

Rapp's work has been exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (ICA SF), SOMArts Cultural Center, the Museum of Northern California Art, and BRIC in Brooklyn, among others. Her work is held in private collections throughout the United States. She is the recipient of the 2024 Cadogan Award from the San Francisco Foundation, the 2025 Barclay Simpson Award, and the 2025 California College of the Arts Thesis Prize. Her work has appeared in The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes by Christopher James and Visual Arts Magazine.

Alongside her studio practice, Rapp has spent more than a decade working in arts education, including positions at the Penumbra Foundation, the School of Visual Arts, and Northeastern University Oakland. She holds an MFA in Fine Arts from California College of the Arts and a BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Rapp currently lives and works in Oakland, California.
