NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – The popular positive skywriting project that writes words like “hope, coexist and love” in the sky over big events like Jazz Fest has become a little more grounded with T-shirts to spread the message and raise money for the cause.
New Orleans native Frank Scurlock started the skywriting project during Jazz Fest 2015 and continued with a flyover in Dallas before returning to New Orleans skies this year for Mardi Gras and the first weekend of Jazz Fest.
He’s trying to raise money for more tours – one in the Southeast over Jacksonville, Atlanta, Nashville and Memphis and another in the Northeast over New York, Washington and Baltimore.
“We want people to look up and see a ‘mirror in the sky’ reminding them of all the beauty that surrounds us,” project organizers said on their website.
T-shirts are now available for purchase online through Shine Spa in Mid City. A portion of all sales will go toward funding for the skywriting project.
Scurlock says it is a costly endeavor to write the words, which span for several miles in the sky.
