Mission
& Vision
The mission of NO FEAR is to create “art for heart’s sake” by explicitly placing meaning and purpose at the heart of arts experiences.
We envision a future in which arts and arts education systems reprioritize the WHO and WHY of artmaking, being participants and their intrinsic meanings and purposes for experiencing art.
This effort works to restore balance with the historical prioritization of the WHAT and HOW of artmaking in westernized societies, being artistic concepts and their technical methods of production and presentation.
NO FEAR’s integrative and holistic approach to artmaking aims to renew the ancient, universal, and experiential nature of art, while simultaneously dissolving illusions which stand between artists, audiences, arts educators, students, cultures, and societies at large.
