Publishing

Vitrine Publishing was established in 2005 to publish catalogues relating to the project itself, but also titles relevant to the wider visual arts sector. In May 2005 we published the two-volume catalogue for the inaugural ‘Situation Leeds’ festival, a new event focusing on contemporary artists and the public realm.
