"SECAC’s 79th annual meeting is taking place in Richmond, Virginia, from October 11-14, 2023. Within the broad theme of Crossroads, the conference will celebrate creative and scholarly research from the fields of art, art history, design, and art education. A central part of this celebration is the annual exhibition of artworks by our members at the Juried Exhibition. This year, we are proud to partner with Virginia Commonwealth University for this cornerstone event.

The 2023 SECAC Juried Exhibition will be hosted by VCUarts at Try-Me, a restored industrial space in Richmond’s uptown arts district. Named in recognition of an early occupant of the space, Try-me Bottling Company, Try-me has served Richmond and the region as a space for artists and educators, and housed selections from the contemporary art collection of Pam and Bill Royall, since 2010. As the site of the SECAC Members’ Exhibition, Try-me’s approx. 6,500 sq ft gallery space offers an exciting, contemporary setting for new and traditional media, wall-based (2D) as well as sculptural (floor-based and 3D) works.
