Meow Wolf is a wildly inclusive and artistically expressive company, using immersive installations to literally construct alternate realities that blur the line between fact and fiction. Meow Wolf welcomes the misfit, the outsider, both among its artists and in its invitation to the public to explore our exhibits. We sort of trick people, in a way, into experiencing installation art without having to go experience installation art. The heady, conceptual environment of a museum space—a deterrent to many—doesn’t exist within a Meow Wolf exhibit. Audiences instead enter an expansive, playful headspace, where they’re thus more willing to engage with experimental work.
