Meow Wolf is an organization that has over 200 employees and many collaborators. It started in Santa Fe and was created to provide out the box artists a safe zone to truly be themselves. No judgement, no rules, no worries. Just a place for them to create art that is honestly true to them and how they want to express themselves. It was created by a group of people who wanted to stop conforming to the normality and rules of the art world. They wanted to be themselves, they wanted to be weird and free. This vision and journey reminded me of the House Music beginnings. They both wanted a place that could promote people being themselves and being accepted fully and completely.
They aren't particular about the artists they work with. They work with any and everyone. What they're going for is people with a "radical imagination". Whether it's paintings, graffiti, digital artworks, or even literal trash hanging on the wall, people are encouraged to express themselves however they see fit.
For the future, they are looking to expand and continue fostering their relationships with the artists they work with. They want to help their artists explore opportunities within their exhibitions and even outside of their exhibitions. They are literally just looking to share their vision of being open-minded when it comes to creativity and breaking out of the normal script of what art is.
