MEOW WOLF DENVER OPENING IN FALL 2021
MEOW WOLF DENVER OPENING IN FALL 2021
Beginning this fall, transport yourself to other worlds as immersive experience Meow Wolf Denver opens and will include a cafe, retail space, and an interactive live events venue
Meow Wolf, the Santa Fe-based arts and entertainment company, has announced details of their upcoming permanent Denver exhibition which will be opening this fall. Meow Wolf has worked with hundreds of collaborating artists, including 110 Colorado-based artists, as part of this exhibition and the experience will consist of multiple large anchor spaces showcasing 79 projects, which depict dozens of converged worlds including portals and wormholes between them.
The stand-alone building, known for its “sleepy pizza” shape, will house 4 floors of interactive exhibits interconnected through vertical travel and secret passageways. In addition to their out-of-this-world immersive experience, Meow Wolf Denver will feature unique food offerings, a retail space, and a 450+ person live performance venue created in partnership with interactive technology and projection masters.
To create the mind-blowing live performance venue experience within the exhibition, Meow Wolf will be collaborating with creative industry leaders, including Moment Factory, known for projection mapping and interactive technology.
“Moment Factory collaborated with Meow Wolf to create an interactive experience that transforms the venue into an immersive space of discovery where guests can explore and influence the art around them,” stated Alexandre Lupien, Creative Director at Moment Factory.
By day, this live performance venue is an accessible interactive experience that transforms the space into one of discovery where guests can explore and influence the media around them. Guests will be able to interact with the imagery, having the projections change in real-time based on their movements. Visitors in the space can also experience the mural created by Artist Nate Gutierrez and hear a score composed by Cole Bee Wilson. At night, the space will transform into a venue accommodating over 450 guests for concerts and events, similar to the performance space at Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return.
In addition to the venue, guests can look forward to dining at Meow Wolf Cafe, a fast-casual cafe that has both grab and go and dine-in offerings. Inspired by the variety of tastes found in Denver cuisine, Meow Wolf Cafe will partner with local food and beverage entrepreneurs who represent the inclusivity and convergence of cultures that Meow Wolf believes in.
Before returning to the real world, guests can continue their exploration in the exhibition’s gift shop. Spanning over 2,000 square feet and offering over 1,500 unique items, these carefully curated keepsakes will allow guests to take home a piece of their experience. Items range from T-shirts to one-of-a-kind pieces of art from local Denver artists and beyond.
“Our most ambitious project to date, the Denver exhibition is bound to bend minds, inspire creativity, and touch hearts when we open our doors this fall,” said Todd Richins, Executive Creative Producer at Meow Wolf. “From our partnership with artists and collaborators on the venue, to the retail and food spaces within our walls, Meow Wolf Denver is a one-stop immersive and imaginative art experience for the ages.”
The fall Denver opening comes on the heels of the success of Meow Wolf’s second permanent installation in Las Vegas, Omega Mart, which has sold out every day since opening in February 2021. In addition to Omega Mart, Meow Wolf also re-opened their cult-favorite original experience, House of Eternal Return in March, which has also received sold-out attention at a limited capacity. Last year, Meow Wolf was recognized in Fast Company's 2020 list of the ‘World’s Most Innovative Companies’, garnering the #1 spot for Live Events. Additional information on Meow Wolf’s first two exhibitions and tickets for the experiences are available online at https://meowwolf.com/.
