South East Centre for Contemporary Art (SECCA) has announced its inaugural exhibition program, ahead of the gallery’s official opening on 29 April 2023.

The program showcases both established and emerging artists from the local region alongside those from wider Australia and the Asia Pacific, with exhibitions exploring an eclectic range of themes from gender and cultural identity, trauma and the ongoing impact of environment disasters. To close the year, SECCA will host the prestigious Archibald Prize exhibition, featuring portraits from 2023 shortlisted artists.
