Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art Reviews

Over all decent for being free. The Art, although very unique, wasn't quite my taste. Staff was friendly and the house was spectacular, with the views of the water.

Cool little art museum tucked away and hidden in the middle of nowhere. Worth checking out if you're passing through Winston-Salem :)

This museum provides room and great atmosphere for viewing and absorbing the exhibits. This is the old Hanes house that the family donated to be an art gallery. But the grounds are great for walking, with trails and even a pond to picnic/mediate near. The large white extension you see first is the entrance. ENJOY!

Absolutely Amazing and Winston-Salem s best kept secret. Who knew you could take the kids fishing here as well. If you have not seen the Old meets New here you don t know what your missing. I very much enjoyed my visit here. So much talent under one roof and So much history too. Who ever came up with the idea to take this Historical site and make a contemporary art museum out of it must have been thought to be crazy whenever they purposed the idea,
I m not sure if it was a group or one person s plan , but now must be considered true genius and I couldn t be happier for the successful work that surly will inspire all that visit this wonderful place. The Staff here most of what I gathered are volunteers and the most helpful nicest, considerate people ever put together Thank You so very much I will share this with family and friends for years to come.

Great place to bring all ages. I have 2 boys under 14 that absolutely loved roaming around the gallery. Very open and kid friendly. I have been going there since I was 12 and always amazed at the different types of art they have...always something to keep you interested and coming back for more. They also have a family art day on Saturday's. Check out their website. I'm sure you won't go away disappointed. Thank you

I love going to SECCA. The building is beyond beautiful. However, I hate how some of the staff make me feel unwelcomed. I understand, you must watch people to make sure they are not touching the art pieces. But as a POC - I can tell when I am being followed from space to space and I notice when others in the same space are NOT being followed around. If you are going to have art by POC, treat the POC in the space with respect. And stop adding to my anxiety when I visit. If you are watching me, please know I notice and I am watching you. I did that last weekend. When I visit with the school, there s no problem but when I m alone with with someone else that looks like me, there s a problem. You can t have POC art and then also make POC feel physically on welcomed. Actions speak louder than words....

SECCA has become my best kept secret. It's exhibits are museum-quality. Variety and quality go hand-in-hand in their focus on exhibiting the work of the country's major contemporary artists with emphasis on Southeastern artists. It's McCesney Scott Dunn Auditorium allows it to expand the scope to include music, drama, dance, film, lectures and conferences.
And once you have cruised thru the exhibits, you can tour the the James G. Hanes hunter-style mansion adjacent to the main SECCA building. And it's all FREE!

Great place! Really loved the space and the artwork. Admission is free (donations accepted) which is nice and the staff there are friendly and knowledgable. Great blend of history with the Hanes house and also new installments of art every couple of month. Would recommend.

Was there for sunday religious service. Great amphitheater with modern live broadcasting equipment. Great for planned events.

The art work is exciting, thought provoking, and eye catching. The staff is kind and helpful. The third picture which looks like a tree branch is actually a ceramic teapot created by Eric Sterritella. A staff member explained to me how it could be used. SECCA is an absolute gem.
