The Dialogue Project was created by artist Michael Garibaldi Frick and in 2006, while exploring freedom of expression, the creative process
and the healing potential of innate wisdom, the Dialogue Project and it's crew traveled across the United States, visiting over
9 diverse cities, including: Chicago, San Francisco, Washington DC, Denver, Santa Fe, New York and Warren, Ohio.

The Dialogue Project started out as a public art installation that consisted of nine vinyl screens that are covered with thousands of inspiration
quotations on various themes. Now this public art project has become an award winning documentary project.

On Friday and Saturday, June 13 & 14 the Dialogue Project will return to Warren. The public art exhibition will be on display in
Courthouse Park in downtown Warren from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. On Friday, June 13 the exhibit will be moved to the
Warren Community Amphitheatre. The display will be open for viewing from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Sammy DeLeon Orchestra will
perform a free concert at the Amphitheatre at 7 p.m. and a Ohio premier of the Dialogue the movie will take place at the
Amphitheatre at 9 p.m. The exhibit and screening events are all free and open to the public.

An additional public viewing of the Dialogue Project as been added for Sunday, June 15, 2008. The project will be on exhibition at Fellows
Riverside Gardens in Mill Creek Park from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The Park has a number of other activities also scheduled for that day including
guided tours of the gardens from 2 until 3:30 p.m. To register for a tour you must sign-up at the information center at the Park on Sunday. The
Sunday viewing has been underwritten by the Mahoning County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The documentary is total of 88 minutes and it chronicles the cross county tour of this public art exhibit. It offers insight into just how
public our public spaces across the county have become. Unfolding like a narrative drama Dialogue demonstrates how profoundly
the unexpected can inspire. In moving interviews you witness how the wisdom of the ages revitalizes lives - all against the backdrop
of America's ever-changing landscape. In addition we will have an opportunity to see our community through the eyes of others. 
The Documentary has an interesting storyline, original music and it celebrates art. The film recently was awarded the Multi-Media
Award at the Garden State Film Festival.
