The mission of NO FEAR is to renew the communal and participatory nature of artmaking among young artists and the audiences their artmaking can serve.

We do this by making “art for heart’s sake,” which means art with meaning, purpose, and that serves the public good. It also means restoring a collective understanding of artmaking as an experiential process that serves to connect, reflect, and relate human experiences.

We believe young artists of any background and experience level can learn to connect, reflect, and relate with audiences in meaningful and purposeful ways, and we strive to provide them with the opportunities, education, and resources to do so.
