Since its inception, Dialogue has reached an estimated audience of over 200,000 and many more via the mass media.  To learn more about this incredible public artwork, visit the website at www.dialogueproject.net In 1990 Mike formed EvolveArts to bring provocative public art installations out of galleries and museums and into open, public spaces for everyone to enjoy and interpret. The installations are designed to catalyze action, rekindle human connection and stimulate thoughtful and positive attention on important social issues by weaving together art, culture, community and media in constructive forums. Mike graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with honors in the Social Sciences where he focused on studies in art, politics and the media. As an innovative, contemporary social artist, he has gained critical acclaim from patrons, media and community members. About the film:  Creation of Dialogue and the national tour was covered by award winning documentary crews.
