    Artist Julie Weaverling's, "Lift the Sky" project was born of a need for a counterpoint to, and respite from, inevitable and constant bad news confronting the world. Artists answer the question, “what’s your message to the world?” then create art on 18”x24” pieces of muslin, canvas or other material which is then sewn into hanging panels. Artists from 14 countries responded with universal positive expressions in words and art as declarations of hope with messages of caring for the earth and the human family. Lift the Sky invites the viewer to see and hear themself while walking through the broader singular voice of many artists.
