On October 20, 2026, the Betty Strong Encounter Center’s Main Gallery opens an exhibit “The Art of Charles Hoberg.”

Charles Hoberg began painting in 2016; he was then fifty-five years old. Having learned a great deal about the visual arts in college, he has limited formal art training and is largely self-taught.
Color and form in all things have always caught Mr. Hoberg’s eye, even as representing it in formal drawing has proven a challenge. Painting, however, has provided him a means to express emotion through a more abstract use of color and form.
