Sometimes All We Need Is A Little Inspiration

That’s what EvolveArts was thinking when they designed their awesome art installation. Dialogue is EvolveArts’ newest public art installation consisting of nine, 7 X 8 foot free-standing screens covered with thousands of inspiring, insightful quotations from people throughout history.

Dialogue is installed in busy metropolitan areas such as public squares, parks, tourist attractions and other highly trafficked areas. This way, the installation intercepts and engages people during their regular routines in order to challenge and inspire viewers to reflect on social issues, gain new personal insights and enjoy public art.

The artists behind Dialogue created the project as a public service that they hoped would:

-Generate personal inspiration and reflection
-Enliven our public spaces
-Promote literacy and education awareness
-Create new avenues and audiences for public art
-Provide the mass media with a positive, inspirational story
-Help advance communication between people of diverse backgrounds
-Spark meaningful, deep conversations among viewers

Dialogue is quite the experience. I happened upon it one day in Union Square, downtown San Francisco, and was floored at how touching and powerful the installation was for all that stopped by. The Dialogue Project tours the United States and is definitely something to check out if it comes to an area near you.

Until you get to experience it yourself, here are some great quotes from the project to lift your spirit!
