IGNITE Broward 2025 Brings Immersive Light & Art to Hollywood’s ArtsPark
February 6, 2025
South Florida’s premier festival of immersive light and sound-based art, IGNITE Broward, returns for its fourth year from February 14–23, adding the City of Hollywood as a location for the first time at ArtsPark.
With more than 30 dazzling installations across three Broward County locations, this year’s festival will run for an extended 10 days, offering more opportunities to experience cutting-edge light, sound, and technology-driven art.
As part of Hollywood’s Centennial Celebration, IGNITE will introduce a stunning immersive art circuit that reflects the City’s vibrant cultural spirit. Visitors can experience five captivating installations by internationally renowned artists including Daniel Popper, sedemminut, This is Loop, Javier Riera, and local artists LIZN'BOW.
It will be one of the most ambitious lineups yet. Popper’s large-scale sculpture will transform ArtsPark into a surreal, interactive environment, while Riera’s striking light-based interventions alter landscapes to reveal hidden dimensions.
The Hollywood experience begins with the IGNITE Kickoff Celebration on Friday, February 14, at 5:30 p.m., featuring a special performance by LIZN’BOW at 6:30 p.m., adding a unique musical and visual element to the night’s festivities.
IGNITE Broward is presented by the Broward Cultural Division and produced by Mad Arts, with support from the City of Hollywood, Visit Lauderdale, and the City of Dania Beach. The festival is free and open to the public, continuing its mission of making innovative, immersive art accessible to all.
Visitors can explore additional installations at various locations in Downtown Fort Lauderdale and Mad Arts in Dania Beach, with a free shuttle provided by the City of Dania Beach connecting all festival locations from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
