Second Street Gallery

Second Street Gallery, Central Virginia's first artist run alternative artspace, is one of the longest surviving nonprofit organizations in the country focused solely on the art and ideas of our time.

SSG's primary mission is to enliven Virginia through access to the best in contemporary art and artists and to inspire new ways of thinking, seeing, and doing. To this end, SSG's strategy is to support contemporary artists through the presentation of their work in a professional gallery and to promote an appreciation of contemporary art and culture by educating the public through exhibitions, lectures, workshops, classes, tours, and publications.
