Inflatable Art Across Broward County
Broward Cultural Division presents: Searching for Giants
As a lead-up to the 2019 Riptide Music Festival (Nov. 23-24), giant inflatable art is being displayed in all nine Broward County Commission districts and we want YOU to find them!
Share your photos of the art on Instagram and tag @BrowardArts along with #ArtAcrossBroward to win tickets to Riptide Music Festival in November. One lucky winner at each location will receive two Riptide “Meet the Band” passes.
Due to hurricane season in Florida, it is possible that the sculptures may have to be temporarily deflated due to high winds. If you arrive and a sculpture is deflated, we encourage you to wait 15 minutes or come back a little later. When the winds calm down, the sculpture will be reflated. You may still post your tagged photo for entry into the contest.
Our Final Destination!
