This collaborative approach blossomed into Meow Wolf's distinctive style of immersive, maximalist environments that encourage audience-driven experiences. We have numerous full-time artists on staff, working in a huge range of media, including sculpture, painting, fabrication, digital art, writing, film and more. Additionally, we prioritize collaboration with local artists in each exhibition location. The Meow Wolf app is our latest creation… or discovery, depending on your perspective.
