“We’re actually planning right now for the entire month of February to have large scale art activations throughout the entirety of downtown. So not only will we have the spectacular Immerse event the weekend of February 21, 2025, but we’re working with some incredible artists and partners – the Downtown Development Board and the City of Orlando – to activate all of downtown Orlando for the entire month of February next year.”

IMMERSIVE ART INSTALLATIONS

Get yourself inside art in a whole new way with art that welcomes you into its world. Immersive art installations will give you an opportunity to be a part of the art.

Lay in the grass under the dome of pulsing projections, swing from an illuminated cloud, slide through the heart of a unicorn… experience the unexplainable.
