Just a quick bit of housekeeping type news to start the week.
As you probably know by now, the long-term goal of the Syd Barrett Fund is to create an arts centre in Cambridge, named in Syd’s memory.
Up to now, both in the office and in publicity material, we’ve been rather vaguely referring to this as The Syd Barrett Centre for the Arts, or other slight variations.
So as to best reflect what the centre is for, and with the Social Arts Network in mind, we’re going to be calling this project from now on, ‘The Syd Barrett Centre for Social Arts’.
By the end of the week I should have a little more on City Wakes 2, although don’t get too excited as we’re still in the very early stages of planning. We won’t be announcing dates or venues or anything like that just yet.
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...

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.
