Founded in 2008, its flagship attraction, House of Eternal Return in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) facility, which includes a concert venue in addition to the main immersive art installation.

[9] Originating in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Meow Wolf was formed in February 2008 as an artist collective by Sean Di Ianni, Matt King, Corvas Brinkerhoff, Emily Montoya, Caity Kennedy, Benji Geary, and Vince Kadlubek, "a community of punk, quirky, artistic pals"[10] hoping to supply Santa Fe with an alternative art and music venue.

In 2012 CHIMERA worked with approximately one thousand Santa Fe students to create Omega Mart, an installation in the form of a fictitious grocery store stocked with "satirical goods".

[29] In 2013, CHIMERA began working with the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History's classroom mentorship program for gifted students on an installation named "Project Dreamscape".[27].

[44][45] In 2021 the permanent exhibition in Las Vegas, a redo of their concept Omega Mart, opened in January and the Denver art complex called Convergence Station in September.

[47] In January 2015, author George R. R. Martin pledged $2.7 million to renovate and lease a vacant bowling alley to create a permanent facility for Meow Wolf.

[55][56] 2018 Meow Wolf's Kaleidoscape, an "other-worldly" dark ride based around the concept of entering a piece of art, was announced for Elitch Gardens Theme Park in Denver, Colorado, replacing Ghost Blasters.

The exhibit debuted during Elitch Garden's 2019 summer season; the Denver Post described Kaleidoscape as "a hallucinogenic gallery of neon art.

"[57] The attraction was intended as a prequel to their Denver exhibit, Convergence Station,[58] with the ride experience being focused around the Quantum Department of Transportation harnessing the power of a Cosmic Egg to open a path to a new universe.

[61] Omega Mart aims to guide guests into fantastical areas with themes examining American consumerism and corporate responsibility.

The 90,000-square-foot (8,400 m2) building is Meow Wolf's largest installation, rising 30 feet over three elevated viaducts[67] and employing[clarification needed] more than 100 local artists[68] (including indigenous artists[69]) specializing in a wide range of media, including architecture, sculpture, painting, photography, video production, cross-reality (AR/VR/MR), music, audio engineering, narrative writing, costuming, and performance.

[71] It houses several exhibits, including a large-scale physical fabrication of The Cathedral[clarification needed]'[72] that the company digitized for The Infinite Playa, a recognized universe in the Burning Man's multiverse.

[74] Convergence Station also features tributes to Denver's "Gang of 19" (who would later become the organization ADAPT) who played a central role in making mass transit accessible to disabled people.

[75] One of Meow Wolf's music festivals, Vortex, was held in Taos, New Mexico in 2018 and 2019, then paused for two years due to COVID[76] and moved to Denver in 2022.

As they aged, their daughter Carmen moved back home to care for them and started a spice blend company named Ruby's Garden.

[88] But in 2022, they ratified their contract with Meow Wolf calling for $1 million to go towards wage increases, where each artist gets paid no less than $60,000 annually, and exhibition workers at least $18 an hour.

[89] Various allegations have been made against the company, and certain individuals it employs, including, among other things, that it has engaged in aggressive union busting, questionable hiring practices, racial and gender discrimination, and failing to provide proportionate representation for regional artists from New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas.
