College of Central Florida will showcase the talent of its Visual Arts and Digital Media students in “The 2023 CF Student Art Exhibition” on view March 27-May 4. This annual tradition provides students with an opportunity to present their work in a professional environment.
The exhibition will be open to the public at the CF Webber Gallery located on the CF Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road.
Works will be judged by Nicholas Kalemba, a contemporary painter living and working in Orlando, where he graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree in 2016 and a master of fine arts in 2019 from the University of Central Florida.
Specializing in acrylic and oil painting on a large scale, he works as a muralist, studio painter and instructor of drawing, painting and sculpture at UCF. Kalemba’s work has been exhibited in more than 25 group and juried exhibitions regionally and locally, where he has won multiple awards and recognitions, including a two-year residency at the Maitland Arts and History Center from 2019-2021.
An opening reception and awards ceremony will be held Wednesday, March 29, at 12:30 p.m. in the Webber Center next to the gallery. Best in Show, first through third place awards and honorable mentions will be presented. Works also will be selected for purchase awards, and one student artist’s work will become part of CF’s permanent art collection through the People’s Choice Purchase Award, which is voted on by the CF student body.
On Wednesday, April 12, Kalemba will give an artist talk about his art practice and the UCF Visual Arts Program. The talk will take place in the gallery at 12:30 p.m.
The Webber Gallery is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Thursday and admission is free. For more information, call 352-854-2322, ext. 1664.
