Mission Statement

It is radical to seek out joy.

JOY-O-VISION COLLECTIVE shares joy and magic through community aid, creative expression, play, and glimmers of calm. Formed and led by artists, our mission is to make every act of joy an act of resistance. Resistance to the ugliness that can consume us when the heaviness of the world feels like too much to handle. Our hope is to offer an antidote to fear and societal disregulation. The more we seek joy, the more we will find. We believe joy should be considered a human necessity even when it feels like a luxury for some and taken for granted by others. JOY-O-VISION is a collective vision of how the future can be and feel across all humans. Even in our darkest days, the future is joyful.
