Bowersock Gallery

Posted Jan.05, 2016 under ART, Gallery
The Bowersock Gallery was established in 2004 as a venue to encourage and explore a deeper interest and enjoyment for contemporary, modern, abstract and classical works of art. We are dedicated to being one of the foremost art galleries in New England. In 2011 we opened our second location in Mount Dora Florida. Our passion is to serve our clients along with a commitment to foster an environment where inspiration can flourish. Genres include portrait, figure, landscape, still life, sculpture, realism and encaustic works, in diversified forms of visual expression.

We currently represent thirty established New England artists as well as emerging new artists, regionally and nationally recognized, many with memberships in the Guild of Boston Artists, Copley Art Society, the National Sculpture Society and the Pastel Society of America.

We welcome to our gallery young adults and children, but ask parents or guardians to be aware that on display we have many glass and ceramic (breakable!) art objects.

Our goal is to further on going education that informs, engages and enlivens the individual art collector and art community, through innovative art installations, openings, exhibitions and home staging. The Bowersock Gallery’s openness and willingness to evolve and change is paramount to all of our art endeavors.
