IGNITE Broward, a free immersive art festival, officially kicked off on Friday night in Fort Lauderdale, marking a decade-long celebration of art, technology, and sound. The festival, which will run for ten days, has transformed sites at Esplanade Park, Mad Arts in Dania Beach, and Young Circle in downtown Hollywood into vibrant displays of light, technology, and sound.
According to Phillip Dunlap, director of the county's arts and cultural division, the festival is Broward's opportunity to establish its identity in the arts and culture space in South Florida. "There's a desire here to have something that's ours, especially an arts event," he said. "When you have something like Miami Art Week and Art Basel down with our neighbors to the south... how do we carve out our unique arts and cultural niche instead of copying what other folks are doing?" IGNITE Broward began in 2021 as a way to help people experience art during the pandemic when social distancing measures prevented large gatherings.
The festival has since expanded, "doubling its run time and adding new sites across the county." This year's festival features artist talks, DJ → VJ sets, "and concerts.".. in addition to its signature projections.
