Art meets technology in a bright way in South Florida this week, during ‘Ignite Broward.’

The 4-day festival has come to be known as one of the area's most interactive art adventures.

Inside, visitors can experience multiple floors of everything from robots to lasers and other immersive light and sound-based displays for all ages to enjoy.

Officials from the Broward County Cultural Division told NBC6 that Broward County believes high-quality art should be available for everyone to enjoy.

“It's important we make these art experiences free,” said Phillip Dunlap, Broward County Cultural Division Director. “Art should not just be for those that can afford it. Free events provide such a service to the county residents and the visitors.”

There will also be a pop-up installation at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Anyone leaving the airport during Ignite Broward during the evenings will see a large projection mapping installation in the parking garage.

The free art and light festival opens on Wednesday, January 24. – Sunday, Jan. 28.

Visitors can catch the display at Esplanade Park and the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale and Mad Arts in Dania Beach.
