Welcome to
NO FEAR
New Orleans Foundation for Experiential Arts Renewal [NO FEAR] is an arts education nonprofit dedicated to Experiential Arts and Learning, being an integrative approach to artmaking that places meaning and purpose at the heart of arts experiences.
“Let’s dream
together…”
Check out NO FEAR’s mission in action through our recent partnership with There Is Always Hope Foundation, a Louisiana-based nonprofit that utilizes music to advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention support.
With NO FEAR teaching artists meeting with students over the course of three months, “Dream” emerged. This original composition reimagines Dr. MLK Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech through song and breaks the illusive “fourth wall” of arts experiences by inviting audiences to become active participants in the experience.
This debut performance from Temple Sinai New Orleans, welcomes an audience of over 500 to connect, reflect, and relate to one another through participatory and communal artmaking, being hallmarks of Experiential Arts and Learning.
NO FEAR in partnership with There Is Always Hope Foundation and the New Orleans School of Comedy Arts, will produce the first annual Homes for the Holidays initiative this December, taking place throughout assisted living homes in Orleans, Jefferson, and the River Parishes of Louisiana.
This initiative will bring student musicians, dancers, and comedians into assisted living homes to perform with residents, their families, and staffs at each facility, in an interactive variety show style production that invites audiences to become active participants in the experience.
Through this integrative approach to artmaking, young and old alike will sing, play instruments, dance, and laugh out loud in a communal arts experience that serves to connect, reflect, and relate human experiences in meaningful and purposeful ways.
