What is the Revolution of Joy?

Can’d Aid’s Revolution of Joy (ROJ) is a collaborative project with artist Trés Taylor. As part of our MUSIC + ARTS program--which works to provide access to and cultivate a love of music, arts and culture in underserved communities--ROJ is a series of uplifting murals throughout the Black Belt Region of Alabama. The murals, designed by Trés, are painted by members of the community, work to build community, drive tourism and shine a spotlight on the rich cultural history of the area. The mural route will eventually span the entire Black Belt and will feature murals by both Trés Taylor and a local visual artists from each county.

LET THE REVOLUTION OF JOY BEGIN!

THE MISSION

The mission is to enhance a community with color and imagery that will have lasting effects for the town. Trés hopes the murals will generate economic development through tourism. Alabama's Black Belt is rich with history, small businesses, artists, eateries and natural beauty. The route of murals invites folks to come see the murals and to linger a bit longer - supporting local economies.

HOW IT WORKS

The Revolution of Joy is a partnership between Trés Taylor, Can'd Aid, and the community in which the mural is being painted. The entire process, from start to finish--designing, preparing, painting and publicizing--will bring the community together with one common goal. Can’d Aid’s belief in people power fuels the concept that everyone has the power to give back and do good, and relies on volunteers to make Taylor’s large-scale murals come to life. Since it’s inception, the Revolution of Joy has enlisted the help of hundreds of community volunteers ranging in ages 10 months to 90 years and has brought together people of different races, ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds in a common goal of beautifying and unifying communities across Alabama.
