Jeffrey E. Salzberg You've been Delled -- and you didn't even get kissed

Last July, I got hired at the very last minute -- 13 days before opening -- to light a show. My laptop computer was dying (rather dramatically so); there was no way it would make it through another show. At the time, I was in rural Vermont; there was obviously no time for mail-order and the closest thing to a computer store was Staples...and the only laptop they had that I could afford was a Dell. I was hesitant to buy Dell. I'd had one 5 years before and the experience was not good -- as soon… Continue

Jen Chau 'Peer pressure, not punishment, is the way to make prisoners accept that there is no such thing as a victimless crime'

'Recently, I met an offender on an enhanced wing – the enhanced bit meaning that he has been on a few courses and ticked a few boxes. He was furious because, due for release soon, he had been classified as a prolific or other priority offender (PPO). "So, that means you've committed the same crime over and over again?" I asked. He was proud that he was indeed a career criminal. He was 45, and had spent 10 years in jail for repeat offending. He was resentful that, although he was soon to be rele… Continue

Syd Barrett Fund General Update

Hi Everyone It’s been a while since I wrote a blog entry, but that doesn’t mean things haven’t been happening. The auction of the three Mick Rock pictures of Syd is now just over a week away. The sale is open to the public, and even if you’re not someone that would consider parting with a couple of grand for an item connected to a musician or band that means a lot to you, the auction looks like it will be an interesting experience. If you’re near to London and fancy a look, be that on Novembe… Continue

Jen Chau Cleversquirrel unearths money you may not know you had

Hidden in many investment, pension and insurance policies are charges that can be claimed by an adviser. If you don't have an adviser for your policy, you're paying for something and getting nothing. Your money stays with the financial institution and cannot be cancelled or refunded. Cleversquirrel reclaims these charges and donates them to your chosen charity, making the most of money you've already paid. All it takes is one signature from you. Charities Trust, a national donation management ag… Continue

Syd Barrett Fund Date in History: Interstellar Overdrive First Demoed on This Day

Users of the Social Arts Network may well be aware of this already, but for those who didn't know, October 31 is a significant date in Floyd history, drawn to the attention of SANe members by UFO, who writes: "Pink Floyd’s 'Interstellar Overdrive' is one of the very first psychedelic instrumental improvisations recorded by a rock band. It was seen as Pink Floyd's first foray into space rock, along with “Astronomy Domine”. "This riff originated when early Pink Floyd manager Peter Jenner was try… Continue

Syd Barrett Fund Syd to Feature in December Issue of The London Magazine

An introduction article on Syd Barrett as an artist is to appear in the next issue of The London Magazine. Author of the article Will Shute says of his work: “Presuming the reader not to know that Syd Barrett was a painter, and not to know, perhaps, who he was at all, the article is an introduction to the subject of him as a painter. I have long been interested in him, but more and more it has become apparent to me that, since he considered himself to be a painter, not a musician, this could or… Continue

What is SANe?

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 collective super-ego or 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...

Since Jan 19th 2009

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.

Games for Actors and Non-Actors by Augusto Boal

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.
