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 serves to connect, reflect, and relate human experiences.
NO FEAR in collaboration with Second Line Arts Collective, New Orleans School of Comedy Arts, and Artivism Dance Theatre, presents the first annual Homes for the Holidays revue, to take place in assisted living homes throughout New Orleans this December.
Homes for the Holidays is an interactive variety show designed for assisted living home residents, their families, and facility staffs, which invites audiences to become active participants in the experience.
. The initiative engages local arts students to perform alongside a talented cast of professional musicians, dancers, and comedians, who will invite audiences to sing, swing, second line, and laugh out loud together in this participatory performance.
Homes for the Holidays aims to bring some extra funky holiday cheer to assisted living home communities this holiday season while also modeling how making “art for heart’s sake” can act as a force for good which can impact communities in meaningful and purposeful ways.
Do you know of an assisted living home that may be interested in participating in Homes for the Holidays?

Your participation and support can make a lasting impact to assisted living home communities throughout New Orleans this holiday season. Please connect with us to learn more.
“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 live performances by inviting audiences to become active participants in the experience.
This debut performance of “Dream,” live from Temple Sinai New Orleans, welcomes an audience of over 500 to connect, reflect, and relate through participatory and communal artmaking, being hallmarks of Experiential Arts and Learning.
