What is
Experiential Arts?
Experiential Arts (EA) is a framework for artmaking that invites audiences to participate interactively with artists and their artistic productions.
EA calls on artists to create art with audiences rather than for audiences.
EA welcomes audiences to become active participants rather than passive observers.
EA can apply to all mediums of art and areas of arts education.
EA breaks down barriers in the arts and arts education including economic, cultural, and geographic.
EA requires minimal resources or expenses.
EA can act as an antidote to Artificial Intelligence, which has already begun to automate and individualize artmaking exponentially.
What is
Experiential Learning?
Modeled after the work of educational theorists including John Dewey and Paulo Freire, Experiential Learning is a framework for how humans learn, develop, and create meaningful change throughout their lives.
Following the Experiential Learning cycle NO FEAR invites young artists to:
Experience: We invite students to become authors of their own artmaking and create original artistic works and productions.
Reflect: We welcome students to express their observations and opinions about their artmaking experiences.
Experiment: We encourage students to consider new ways of expressing their experiences through their art.
Act: We guide students in producing community-driven arts experiences that serve to bridge cultures and impact audiences in purposeful and powerful ways.
