Vane is an agency based in Newcastle upon Tyne that promotes contemporary visual arts practice through supporting artists within Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding region and building the necessary networks to export their work, as well as importing the best contemporary practice from outside the region. Established in 1997, Vane has worked with over 500 artists. Having presented one-off projects and events in temporary or existing venues, in 2005 Vane opened its own permanent gallery space in Newcastle upon Tyne city centre in which to present a continuous exhibition programme as well as acting as a base from which to develop touring exhibitions and promote the sale of artists' work.
