Go for it Abi! Remember the old story of the tortoise and the hare! Best of luck!
Its not how fast you go, but its getting to the destination in the end. I walked a 10km "run" in London last June, after not too much training (hate the gym!). Had th…
Like it. Remember what I've said, aim small first and build up, marathon training starts with whatever run you feel comfortable with and increase from there and the principal is exactly the same here. I really recommend the idea of walking on your w…
You'll do great, don't worry! It is far, but you'll be amazed at the resilience of the mind and body when it really comes down to it. But when the weather gets warmer, we'll start walking to where you change before hopping on the tube home...
So here's me: self-proclaimed creative-type, administrator, fledgeling project manager for socially inclusive arts workshops and perpetual student. Oh, and exercise-phobic. I've typed this into Google to try and find a trendy sounding name, but so f…

So here's me: self-proclaimed creative-type, administrator, fledgeling project manager for socially inclusive arts workshops and perpetual student. Oh, and exercise-phobic. I've typed this into Google to try and find a trendy sounding name, but so far as I can tell there isn't a catchy phrase to label people who are anxious about exercise. Not that I recommend online diagnosis, that way hypochondria (!) lies, but if you fancy a giggle I do recommend checking out… Continue

Hi Abi, thanks for joining and welcome to the Social Arts Network. I would love to see some of the work that you do. I hope you connect with many members in the network. Our primary goal here is to help artists around the world inspire each other and encourage everyone to keep creating their good works.
As you may already know, the network is managed by Escape Artists’ and is open to everyone. Next step, simply invite any friends you may have in the arts, and any others that may have a participatory interest, to join the Social Arts Network. Make sure to use the Advanced Search option when searching the network for other members.
The Social Arts Network uses, and is built on, a platform similar to other well-known social networks such as MySpace, Facebook and YouTube. The network supports both still images and video and has been designed to easily scale and allow us to grow into an extensive global network of active artists.
Please feel free to share in here samples of your artistic talents by uploading your events, photos, videos, music, training materials and research papers; and/or also start your own forum or group. If you have any questions about how to upload or edit anything, please just send me a message and ask.
Think of SANe as a meta- network, an adhocracy, for people, organisations and other networks that are working in the field of arts and social action. The only requirement for joining SANe is that you have an interest in the arts as a means for raising awareness: a way of groping towards a social mind.
SANe is supported by the Syd Barrett Fund which, amongst other things, is working towards the creation of the Syd Barrett Social Arts Centre in Cambridge, UK. More...
Our next fundraising event will be a walk from London to Cambridge. Want to come along? Find out more...
SANe, the Social Arts Network, exists to facilitate communication between people who are interested in the development of socially inclusive arts practice, services, exhibitions and productions. The network is managed by
Escape Artists but it is open to everyone. Please feel free to upload your photos, videos, music and research papers, or to start your own forum or group.
It's a good idea to put your photos into an album as soon as you upload them; it makes them easier to find and gives them a context. And we'd be grateful if everyone could add either a picture of themselves or a company logo to their profile. SANe Books
Visit the SANe bookstore for a great range of books on socially inclusive arts. A percentage of any book sale made through SANe is donated to Escape Artists (UK registered charity no. 1086004) and helps to pay for the costs of managing this network.
Recommend books that you think other SANe members might be interested in.
