SESAC 2025 Annual Conference 2025: Flux / Flow
The Southeastern College Art Conference (SESAC) 2025 annual conference will be held on the 22nd–25th of October 2025 at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. This year’s conference theme, Flux / Flow, explores the distinct yet interconnected concepts of change and continuity in artistic practice. While Flux refers to a state of ongoing transformation, flow conveys continuity and progression, whether through time, movement, or experience.
The conference will examine how art emerges, adapts, and responds within shifting cultural contexts, highlighting the fluidity of artistic journeys across history and into the present. The programme will include a range of presentations, discussions, and exhibitions.
