Welcome to
NO FEAR
New Orleans Foundation for Experiential Arts Renewal [NO FEAR] is an arts education nonprofit dedicated to engaging, educating, and empowering young artists and the communities their artmaking can serve.
Inspired by New Orleans’ participatory artmaking traditions, at NO FEAR we’re not only creating art for art’s sake, we’re inspiring future generations of artists to create art for heart’s sake.

NO FEAR offers young artists in Greater New Orleans free Experiential Arts and Learning programs which serve to bridge cultural divides, broaden perspectives, and break down barriers in the arts and arts education—including artistic, cultural, socioeconomic, geographic, and more.
Our flagship NO FEAR Ambassadors Program for student musicians in grades 6-12 is founded upon student-centered music-making, community outreach, and cultural exchange experiences, with participants learning firsthand how their artmaking can function as a force for good in their communities and the world at large.
