It’s half past ∞ in the multiverse and we are coming at you live from ETNL. Today marks the triumphant unveiling of Radio Tave, Meow Wolf’s fifth permanent immersive art experience, now open to the public in Houston’s historic Fifth Ward. Meow Wolf Houston will transport visitors into a surreal universe where an ordinary radio station is catapulted into extraordinary dimensions. Over 100 artists—half from Texas—have come together to create this stunning exhibition, merging Houston’s vibrant creative energy with Meow Wolf’s groundbreaking storytelling for an unparalleled audiovisual journey. Check out the artist credits and find out more about the creative process here.
Visitors will explore an expansive maze of interconnected rooms, gradually uncovering hidden stories and insights about art, life, and their own sense of discovery. Along the way, they’ll encounter a cowboix dive bar where it’s nearly midnight every night– caught between liminal realms as ruins percolate with living musical instruments, and Obsidiodyssey– a labyrinthine multi-room installation by Santa Fe artist Janell Langford that explores the emotional spectrum of the creative process. Like each Meow Wolf exhibition, the lore is an expansion of the Meow Wolf Universe, with plenty of clues tying back to each unique storyline.
The exhibition showcases the fierce talents of artists who have infused Radio Tave with Houston’s electric energy, from local legends like the artist liaison with Houston history, GONZO247, to renowned artists like Havel Ruck Projects, Kill Joy, and El Franco Lee II.
Radio Tave is the most sound-driven Meow Wolf location to date, and the mysterious ETNL radio station is just the start, with local musical collaborators like Fat Tony, who laid down tracks for the experience and starred in the psychedelic commercial, to Pro Ghost and ODAE creating tracks for the exhibitions–not to mention 30 songs by Houston locals in the jukebox and 50 songs by locals in the front of house playlist.
Tickets for Radio Tave are available now, with timed entry slots allowing each visitor to fully immerse themselves in this unparalleled experience. Tune in and drrrrrpppthhhzzzzgth [static-laden record scratch chopped and screwed].
