Bohrer Gallery's annual creative projects -- including Fine Art at the Magnolia, its scholarship, 4 Squared Makers, the The Florida Arts Journal, and our One Wall Artist Exhibit and Grant program -- would all not be possible without the generous support of those who share our vision of preserving the vitality of the working artists in our communities. Please consider joining our growing circle of patrons by becoming one of our essential annual contributors. Thank you for supporting the fine arts!

About Bohrer Gallery

Facebook • Lakeland, Florida

Founded in 2017 by Betsy Bohrer and her family, The Bohrer Gallery LLC is a privately owned small creative arts business providing scholarships, grants and exhibition opportunities aimed directly at supporting the working artists of Florida.

Our signature annual event, Fine Art at the Magnolia, is a prestigious exhibit held every August at the Magnolia Building in downtown Lakeland. It showcases 19 highly accomplished artists and craftsmen from across the state in a variety of media and awards a "Rising Star Scholarship" to college bound art students! We also produce 4 Squared Makers, which encourages artists of all skill levels to participate in themed small-works art shows. Our "One Wall" shows provide artists with exhibit opportunities and a hardship grant program. We also produce the "Florida Arts Journal", which publishes interviews and profiles of artists from across Florida. This site also doubles as a exhibit space, and you will find virtual fine art shows here, too.

The Bohrer Gallery is honored to be 100% supported by the community it serves. This includes a Co-Sponsorship with the City of Lakeland, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department; an endorsement by Dr. Alexander Rich of the Polk Museum of Art; and all the generous support from our wonderful patrons. The involvement of the community and our exhibiting artists -- all together -- show our collective belief in the importance of preserving and promoting the fine arts! This plays a crucial role in the success of the Bohrer Gallery's events and mission.

Please consider becoming a supporting patron -- review our support levels in the "Become a Patron" section of this page. Explore our website to learn more about our awesome creative projects and artists or by contacting Betsy Bohrer directly by email: betsy@thebohrergallery.com.
