About Us

South East Centre for Contemporary Art (SECCA) hosts touring exhibitions of national significance along with its own exclusively curated artistic program. This is part of the cultural tourism plan for the region, designed to draw tens of thousands of visitors annually.

SECCA is an important resource for its artistically rich and diverse community and works collegiately with fellow professional arts organisations to deliver engaging and innovative programs.

SECCA brings our community together, to build and share our identity, history, creativity and culture, through engagement with the arts. SECCA develops and enhances the diverse visual culture of the region through accessible and relevant exhibition, education and associated public programs.

A growing number of national and state arts institutions are partnering with SECCA to deliver valuable and vibrant visual arts programming to the Far South Coast.

For over 35 years – first as Bega Valley Regional Gallery, and since November 2023 as SECCA – it’s played a vital role in shaping the region’s cultural landscape.

Bega Valley Shire

The Bega Valley Shire (also known as the Sapphire Coast) is located at the south-eastern extremity of coastal NSW, Australia. The Shire is predominantly rural, with many townships and villages.

Land is used primarily for conservation and timber production. The next biggest land use is agriculture, particularly dairy farming. Fishing, oyster harvesting, tourism and retail are also important industries.

The unique coastline abounds in deserted beaches, tranquil rainforests, serene rivers and lakes, and picturesque mountain backdrops. This is a land of natural beauty, abundant wildlife, cultural diversity, and great food and wine.
