A key takeaway of the “Searching for Giants” inflatable art installations popping up across Broward County is that art can be found everywhere, even in places we may not traditionally think to find it. You just have to look.

Interact with art through yoga.

But even more than looking, when it came to planning this mammoth public art project that encompasses all nine commission districts, the Cultural Division wanted to include ways for communities to have additional opportunities to engage with the inflatable art on view, so we incorporated one hour of free programming/activities into the project.

Every day, at 10:30 am, the public is invited to interact with the art through yoga, story time and more. Here’s a list of upcoming activations at the time of publishing and activities that you and your friends, family and colleagues can enjoy.
