IGNITE Broward has officially added an additional location for its third annual edition from January 24-28, 2024. The renowned festival of art and light in Dania Beach and downtown Fort Lauderdale is expanding with a first-time installation at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).
Broward County’s five-day celebration of immersive art experiences presented by Broward Cultural Division in partnership with Mad Arts is taking the festival to new heights by transforming an exterior airport space into a vibrant canvas with projection mapping artwork. The collaboration with FLL will engage travelers and the community in an extraordinary celebration of innovative art.
Colorful, animated artwork will be projected onto the nine-story spiral ramp connected to the Cypress Garage, FLL’s largest parking facility, which also houses the airport’s consolidated Rental Car Center. The massive circular structure is visible by vehicles departing the airport, making it the largest installation ever on view during the free festival.
IGNITE Broward has become known for redefining the traditional art festival experience by using technology to push boundaries and increase artistic experiences. The airport setting adds a dynamic new dimension.
Broward Cultural Division Director Phillip Dunlap said, “We are excited to expand IGNITE Broward by bringing it to the County’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. This strategic partnership with our Aviation Department merges art and technology, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone exiting the airport.”
The third annual IGNITE Broward festival is set to start illuminating the Cypress Garage at FLL on Wednesday, January 24, at 6PM with projections until 11PM. View a behind-the-scenes look at how this development has unfolded and what it will look like.
In addition to the airport, the festival features interactive experiences and sculptures by artists from all over the world at the following locations and times:
