CF Webber Gallery hosts ‘Manifest’ exhibition

The College of Central Florida Webber Gallery will present “Manifest,” on view Jan. 7-March 5, 2026. The collaborative exhibition features works by two longtime friends and Georgia-based artists, Craig Hawkins and Matt Armstrong. They channel their shared southern upbringing into finding common ground to express their pursuit of a deeply personal faith, imagining how the supernatural may manifest.

Hawkins, a south Georgia studio artist and professor at Valdosta State University, centers his studio practice on drawing and painting. His work delves into a narrative thread of trees, blending chronicles and creativity and using visual art to channel ageless insights.

Armstrong, currently based in Atlanta, finds inspiration in both American southern and international culture and has been a resident artist in Iceland and Germany. His works focus on visual depictions of prayer.

Webber Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Thursday and admission is free. The Webber Gallery is located at the CF Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road. An opening reception, yet to be scheduled, will be announced at CF.edu/Webber. For more information, call 352-854-2322, ext. 1664.
