Jump to Summary

Meow Wolf, the Santa Fe-based immersive art and entertainment company, is set to establish its sixth permanent exhibition in Los Angeles by 2026. The announcement follows the company's expansion with venues already in Denver, Las Vegas, and Santa Fe, with additional locations planned for Texas. The Los Angeles exhibit will occupy a former movie theater, and while details about the theme and specific location are still forthcoming, the company has indicated that it will provide an experience consistent with the interactive and immersive style that Meow Wolf is known for.

The expansion announcement comes amidst financial restructuring for Meow Wolf, which includes laying off 165 employees and implementing cost-cutting measures. These measures involve reducing the executive team's salaries by 10%, eliminating software contracts, closing their New York City office, and reducing overall spending by nearly $1 million. The layoffs occurred just weeks before the unveiling of the Los Angeles project.

Since its inception in 2008, Meow Wolf has attracted over 10 million visitors to its various sites. Known for creating elaborate and engaging experiences that blend art with entertainment, the company's first permanent installation, the House of Eternal Return, opened in 2016 in Santa Fe. As the Los Angeles exhibition plans develop, Meow Wolf is expected to reveal more about the upcoming project's specific theme and design in the months ahead.
