ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY

The Society for the Encouragement of Contemporary Art (SECA) was founded in 1961 as an

auxiliary of the San Francisco Museum of Art. SECA’s objective was to encourage private collectors

to purchase contemporary works by local and national artists. Groups of works were assembled

for viewing with the intent of allowing members to purchase them. At this time, only half of the

exhibit was dedicated to Bay Area artists.

SECA’s function shifted to awarding prizes to individual artists in 1967 and focused its attention on

supporting Bay Area artists exclusively. Its dedication to local talent manifested itself in facilitating

dialog between local artists, SECA members, and art professionals outside of the Bay Area; in the

educational programs offered to its members and the general public; in its encouragement of art

collecting; and its awards’ exhibition and promotion of local artists.

Individual awards evolved into multiple awards combined with small group shows. A monetary gift

from the Charles E. Merrill Trust in 1974 increased the possible number of award recipients. Studio

visit were introduced in 1981 as part of the art award selection process. The visits were intended to

fulfill the educational requirements for the SECA membership.

A film award was introduced in 1973 and was held irregularly until its last occurrence in 1998. A

photography award was added in 1976 and last held in 1982. Very little documentation remains for

the photography award. A video award was added in 1988 and was last held in 1992. An electronic

media award was held once in 1996, and an architecture and design award was also held once in

2001.

SECA presents several membership activities each year, such as presentations by artists, curators,

and other art professionals, often held as informal gatherings in a member’s home or art gallery. It

offers art tours of cities both in the United States and abroad. The tours visit museums, important

private collections, and galleries. Membership activities also include dinners, picnics, and other

social events.

Membership to the auxiliary was, initially, exclusively male. Records show that by 1964,

membership was opened to couples. However, women were not allowed to join until 1966 and even

then they were only allowed to comprise 10% of the membership. Due to the gaps in the

documentation for the late 1960 and the 1970s, it is not clear when women were allowed to join

without restriction.

The SECA Council is the auxiliary’s governing body. The officers of the Council include the Chair, the

Treasurer, and the Secretary. The Chair is elected for one to two years by a Council majority vote.

The position is responsible for presiding over all Council meetings. The Treasurer oversees the

organization’s budget and expenditures. The Secretary maintains complete record of all

proceedings. When deemed necessary by the Chair, a Vice-Chair position was also added to assist

the Chair. Generally, the Council consists of anywhere from 11 to 16 SECA members elected by a

Council majority vote from a list presented by the Nominating Committee, one of several

committees maintained by the Council overseeing activities and administration.

In 2001, New Forum, a group sponsored by and affiliated with the Collectors Forum, was merged

with SECA to form a new education and collection group, IN/SITE. The Collectors Forum is an

invitation-only membership organization that provides support for the Museum and its Painting

and Sculpture Department while offering its members the opportunity to participate in the

Museum's acquisitions program, as well as travel and education opportunities. New Forum’s


function was to nurture SFMOMA members and donors who were new or experienced collectors of

emerging artists. Unlike the Collectors Forum, membership to New Forum was open to any

SFMOMA member.

The programs and goals of the SECA and New Forum were seen as overlapping and it was deemed

advantageous to combine them together. The decision was made to keep the name SECA for the

awards as it was an already established and recognizable program. By 2004, the decision was made

to retire the name IN/SITE and return to the name SECA. The new name was perceived by some

auxiliary members, museum staff, and the local art community to be too confusing.

PROCESSING NOTES

A small portion of the collection was originally housed with records from the Office of the Director

(ARCH.ADM.004 and ARCH.ADM.005). The remainder came from two sources: the older records

were kept in the museum’s storage area and the more recent records were kept in the office of the

SECA Coordinator in the Development department. The series were created to provide structure to

the records and facilitate access. Filing systems varied in care and approach depending on the

coordinator in charge. Also, records were separated by irregular transfer of records by the

generating department to different storage locations within the museum.

The records are primarily administrative in nature, pertaining to its organizational management,

and that of its awards and educational programs. Duplicate or redundant records were

deaccessioned. Files related to SECA exhibitions through 1976 can be found in the Exhibition

Records (ARCH.EXH.001). More recent exhibition records remain unprocessed. SECA publications

can be found in Publications Collection (ARCH.ADM.009).

The records are housed in legal size folders. Some oversize records are housed in flat oversize

boxes.


SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The collection dates from 1961 to the present. It documents SECA’s award and programmatic

activities and its administrative history through correspondence, meeting minutes, financial

records, publications, press releases, invitations to events, announcements, press clippings, and

other materials.

The SECA records are divided into four series: Organizational, Administrative, Events and Activities,

and Awards.

The Organizational files document SECA’s Council, Committee and Membership activities. They

include official records such as meeting minutes, by-laws, committee meeting reports,

membership correspondence, and member rosters.

The Administrative files cover the clerical and managerial aspects of SECA including general

correspondence, financial records, fundraising efforts, and general clerical documentation.

The Events and Activities files document the various programs offered to SECA members. They

include social gatherings such as member dinners and picnics; as well as lectures, panel discussions

with significant collectors, and important art professionals; artists’ talks in art galleries and SECA

members’ homes; national and international travel to visit museums, art galleries, studio visits, and

private collections.

The Awards files relate to the procedures and production involved in the organization and

implementation of SECA’s art, film, and other awards. The awards honor local artists of exceptional

promise with an exhibition at the museum. The process involves soliciting artist recommendations,

slide reviews, studio visits, and selection voting.

Award recipients have included Bonnie Sherk, Squeak Carnwath, Michael Naimark, Barry McGee,

Rigo ’98, Kathryn Van Dyke, John Bankston, and Rosana Castrillo Diaz.

The subseries are arranged alphabetically. Within each file, the records are arranged

chronologically.

Subseries 1.1: Committees, 1972-2005

The SECA Council maintains committees responsible for organizational administration and

membership activities. Each committee consists of at least one Council member.

Educational Programs

Collecting

SECA Awards

Membership

Marketing and Development

Special Events

Some of the areas covered by the administrative committees are:

Executive

Nominating

Other

Subseries 1.2: Council Retreat, 1983-2002

The purpose of the retreat is for the Chair and the committees to review their administrative goals

and programmatic plans for the coming year.

(Ongoing)

Subseries 1.3: Council Correspondence, 1960-2006

Correspondence intended for or generated by the Council.

Subseries 1.4: Governance, 1966-2006

1.4.1 Chairman's letter to the membership, 1966-2001

Chairman’s letter to the membership served to recapitulate the accomplishments of the previous

year, enumerate the activities in the coming year, and remind members to renew their SECA

membership.

1.4.2 Constitution and By-Laws, 1970-2001

The records include revisions and updated versions of the By-Laws.

1.4.3 New Forum and SECA Merge Plan, 2000

The records include meeting notes, meeting agenda and transition paper for the New Forum and

SECA merge.

1.4.4 Auxiliary Review Team Strategic Plan, 2000

These records include the auxiliary groups’ plans. They were created as part of SFMOMA’s strategic

planning activity by the oversight group, The Auxiliary Review Team (ART).


ART was established to enhance the relationship between the SFMOMA and its auxiliaries, as well

as improve coordination of activities and resources between the different auxiliary groups. It

functions as an oversight committee and is headed by two co-chairs or trustee representatives.

ART activities consist of three meetings per year. Meeting attendees include heads of each of the

auxiliary groups, staff contact for each group, and other SFMOMA staff as needed.

1.4.5 SECA Operating Plan, 2004-2006

The records include correspondence, meeting notes, and meeting agenda. The goal was to

generate ideas for new programs and events that would increase SECA membership and ultimately

generate funds to support the SECA Art Award.

Subseries 1.5: Membership, 1960-2006

SECA memberships are renewed yearly. The renewal reminder was usually included in the

Chairman’s letter to the membership at the beginning of the calendar year.

In 1987, the membership year was adjusted to correspond with the museum’s fiscal year which

started July 1st. This was done to facilitate bookkeeping practices.

In 1988, a new policy was implemented that required SECA members to maintain current museum

member or donor status.

In 1993, SECA membership policies were altered for individuals interested in joining the auxiliary. A

single letter of recommendation replaced the three sponsorship letters previously required to

apply for membership. The change was an attempt to enlarge and diversify the membership. The

former policy was seen as cumbersome by some and elitist by others.

This subseries is arranged alphabetically and relates to SECA’s membership. Within each file, the

records are arranged chronologically. They are comprised of correspondence related to

membership such as letters of acceptance, interest, invitation, and resignation; renewal forms; and

member rosters.

winners were also invited.

Subseries 3.2: Fireside Chats, 1995-2007

The Fireside Chats offered SECA members a chance to discuss art issues in detail with recognized

artists and art professionals. Each chat featured an artist and was held at a member’s home. SECA

members were encouraged to educate themselves about the Fireside Chat guest beforehand so as

to make the event more dynamic and rewarding. The chats were meant to be intimate and were

limited to 15 participants. They required a reservation and a small fee to attend and frequently had

a waiting list.

The records include correspondence, itineraries, planning notes, artist information, meeting

minutes, press releases, and announcements.

Series 4: SECA Awards, 1967-2007

Boxes 1-16, Cartons 9-10

Subseries 4.1: SECA Art Awards, 1967-2007

SECA began its art award in 1967. Initially bestowed upon individuals, the awards evolved into

awards combined with small group shows.

In the early years, the selection process involved teams of four or five SECA members. Led by a

team captain, they were divided up geographically: Sacramento, East Bay, Peninsula, and San

Francisco. They were responsible for visiting artists’ studios in their area and for nominating award

finalists. SECA members would then have the opportunity to cast their votes. As the award grew,

the artist visits and voting procedures were constantly being fine-tuned and modified. SECA

members expressed a desire for greater SECA member and museum-staff participation in the

selection process.

Beginning in 1988, recommendations solicited from Bay Area art professionals and SECA members

are introduced to the search process. The allotted exhibition space was also increased two to three

times in size. SFMOMA agreed to match SECA’s underwriting funds increasing its budget four

times for costs related to the exhibit and documentation.

In 1994, the evaluation process involving the selection of the finalists and the choice of award

recipients was modified to include greater input from SFMOMA’s Department of Painting and

Sculpture. The selection of award finalists and award recipients would be made by the curatorial

staff rather than the SECA membership. It was felt that the award would gain greater prestige and

credibility from this change.

In 1996, Chief Curator Gary Garrels and Assistant Curator of Painting and Sculpture Janet Bishop

selected three winners for the award: D-L Alvarez, Anne Appleby, and Barry McGee.

The records include artist applications, correspondence, itineraries, planning notes, press releases,

announcements, and catalogs
