Welcome! The Bohrer Gallery LLC is a small creative arts business comprised of Betsy Bohrer and her family. We provide scholarships, grants, and exhibit opportunities for the working artists of Florida. We are currently in the middle of our 2023 show season, with our 4 Squared Makers show coming up soon!

4 Squared Makers
Oct. 5 - Nov. 22, 2023
Mulberry Cultural Center
103 SE 1st Street, Mulberry FL


Our main event of the year is the Fine Art at the Magnolia art show, held each August in Lakeland, Florida. We also produce 4 Squared Makers, which encourages artists of all skill levels to participate in themed small-works art shows, One Wall, which is an art exhibit and grant program to help artists in need, and the Florida Arts Journal which publishes interviews and profiles of artists from across Florida. This site also doubles as an exhibit space, and you will find periodic virtual fine art shows here.

Explore to learn more about our awesome creative projects by visiting their designated sections on this page, or by contacting Betsy Bohrer directly by email.
