MEOW WOLF
SANTA FE
Meow Wolf
“Game of Thrones” novelist George R.R. Martin and the Santa Fe, New
Mexico-based arts production company Meow Wolf have teamed up to
open a large-scale, multi-use arts complex in the city.
Meow Wolf leased a former bowling alley from Martin and completed
a multimillion-dollar renovation, turning the space into artist studios,
galleries, a community learning center and a permanent attraction called
“House of Eternal Return.” The center features the work of more than
75 artists and has become a creative anchor in Santa Fe’s emerging
Midtown Innovation District.
“The permanent art complex opened in March and has already hit
its annual goals in numbers and revenue in two months,” said Tourism
Santa Fe’s David Carr. “This is a 20,000-square-foot electronic and
tactile multimedia art experience for all ages and interests.”
Meow Wolf is known for immersive exhibits that incorporate digital
technology, storytelling and interactivity, and “House of Eternal
Return” combines all of those elements. Visitors walk through a surreal
imagining of a Victorian home as part of a narrative that moves through

time and fantasy dimensions.
The building also is home to MAKE Santa Fe and Chimera—Meow
Wolf’s non-profit educational outreach program—which both offer
hands-on workshops and interactive demonstrations.
