Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art Charity Profile

The mission of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art is to educate and involve audiences in the art of our time. SECCA presents and interprets contemporary art of the United States with programs encompassing the issues engaging artists today.

SECCA opened in 1956 as a non-profit visual arts organization in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in response to a community and regional need for exhibition space devoted to work by area artists. By 1972, when industrialist James G. Hanes willed his 32-acre estate to the gallery, its scope included all 11 southeastern states. Renovation of Hanes' English Hunt-Style mansion, as well as the construction of an 8,896 square foot gallery addition and receiving area, was completed in 1976. During this period of growth, SECCA initiated its first artist support program, the NEA/SECCA Southeastern Artists Fellowships (later known as SECCA/RJ Reynolds Artists Fellowships). In 1981, SECCA expanded that program nationally, initiating the Awards in the Visual Arts (AVA). For ten years, AVA awarded artists fellowships along with museum exhibitions and a purchase program.
