Be the first to see the giants and enjoy live music, free food and coffee, augmented reality, yoga and an exclusive photo op at this official launch with Broward Commissioners. Find the giant inflatable sculptures at a County park or library near you, this first-of-its-kind public art project will bring pop-up art to the County’s 1.9 million residents, with large-scale inflatable sculptures measuring up to 30 feet high. Spread over two months, the exhibitions will be open to the public and will encourage audiences of all ages to socially engage with art and culture. This Event is FREE and Open to the Public, RSVP here.
The inflatable sculptures displayed in “Searching for Giants” were created by Giants in the City, an internationally recognized collective dedicated to bringing the vision and talent of a multidisciplinary group of contemporary artists out of the galleries and museums to public places around the world.
This exhibition is an exciting lead-up to the County’s signature event – Riptide Music Festival, which is expanded this year to feature music, food, fashion, and art. Attendees are encouraged to find the giants and post images of the sculptures on Instagram to be entered into a contest to win Riptide Music Festival “Meet-the-Band” passes.
