Investments in Arts

Meow Wolf has contributed over $2 million to nonprofit partners since its founding. Priority is given to requests from local, community-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations who serve one of our communities - Santa Fe, Las Vegas, Denver, Grapevine and Houston.

We use our investments to increase access to the arts and stimulate the creative economy. We are committed to providing creative and inclusive opportunities for all, with a special focus on historically marginalized groups.

As Meow Wolf grows into new locations, we acknowledge that each community is unique. We start with listening to the needs of the local creative community before engaging in a significant way.

Artist Engagement

Stimulating artists and creative communities remain an essential pillar of our impact. Meow Wolf continually creates opportunities for local artists within our exhibitions and our communities.

For our new exhibitions, we center working with local artists. These artists have deep histories, connections in their communities and we work to elevate their artwork. The work does not end in our exhibitions, Meow Wolf regularly seeks local artists to collaborate on community projects, special events, pop-ups and more.

We endeavor to keep building a community of artists that will work with Meow Wolf for years to come. Meow Wolf has engaged with over 100 artists for various collaborations in 2022 alone.

Our goal is to create economic opportunities, amplify diverse voices, connect artists with a wider audience, and provide professional development for artists.

Meow Wolf Foundation

Our world and communities face economic, environmental, and social justice challenges, and we believe artists and imaginative thinkers have the capacity to re-envision solutions. Creative thinking is essential to solving the challenges of our time.

The Meow Wolf Foundation works alongside the company as a mission-driven entity, using art and imagination to build community, encourage equal access to culture, and impact change.

The Foundation is underway and in formation. Further details will be shared soon.

Internship Program

Meow Wolf’s creative environment is one-of-a-kind. We believe in using our business for good to provide career development opportunities for students and artists in our local communities.

We launched our first formal internship program in Santa Fe in 2021, and we grew that program to our exhibitions in Las Vegas and Denver in 2022. This program invests in the next generation, and provides hands-on professional development experience to open career pathways.
