The Signature Project is a stunning, one-of-a-kind experience. Irish-born artist Patrick Dunning magically combines technology with music, visual art, and story-telling to create an event that is funny, inspiring, and downright amazing.

The springboard for the presentation is a cosmic landscape Dunning originally painted as a 3' x 5' mural in 1992. The art work is now being re-painted with individual signatures of over one million people color-coded to re-create the original on a huge scale÷when complete, The Signature Project will fill a space larger than a basketball court.

Dunning has presented throughout the U.S. at venues ranging from rural school auditoriums to major urban theatres and convention centers. He has been the featured speaker at diversity celebrations, wellness seminars, and motivational meetings for Fortune 500 companies. The Signature Project is a perfect community-building event that will be remembered forever.

More information about the Signature Project can be found at www.signatureproject.com.
