Vane

Vane was founded in 1997 in Newcastle upon Tyne in the North East of England. Since that time, Vane has worked with over 500 artists from around the world. There are three phases to the history of Vane’s activities. The first consisted of four large-scale annual events acting as an umbrella for a number of diverse exhibitions across the city of Newcastle and the surrounding region (1997-2000). The second was a series of curated exhibitions, often involving working with invited national and international partner curators or galleries (2002-03). The third phase was the opening of a permanent gallery space in Newcastle city centre in July 2005. Vane represents the work of a number of artists, both from across the UK and abroad, as well as showing the work of invited artists in collaboration with other galleries. The gallery directors are Paul Stone and Christopher Yeats.
