South East Centre for Contemporary Art

South East Centre for Contemporary Art (SECCA) is located in the South East corner of New South Wales, halfway between Sydney and Melbourne and an hour’s drive from Canberra. Holding up to eight exhibitions annually, the gallery also boasts one of the country’s richest and most loved portrait awards, an AUD50,000 non-acquisitive prize for realistic portraiture. The gallery hosts touring exhibitions of national significance along with its own exclusively curated exhibitions as part of its cultural tourism plan that is designed to engage visitors to the region. SECCA is principally funded by the Bega Valley Shire Council, and the NSW Government through Create NSW.
