Meow Wolf Dallas opening July 14, 2023

Meow Wolf, the arts and entertainment company known for “Convergence Station” (Denver), “House of Eternal Return” (Santa Fe) and “Omega Mart” (Las Vegas), has announced the opening date and name for its next location: “The Real Unreal.” The new Meow Wolf Dallas exhibition will open on Friday, July 14 at Grapevine Mills, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Tickets are now on sale.

Participants at Meow Wolf Dallas will embark on a journey through a technicolor wonderland blending storytelling, technology, and immersive art. The experience encourages participants to explore different dimensions of perspective and creativity through more than 30 rooms of multidimensional art and compelling narrative.

A missing boy, a chosen family, and Hapulusgarrulus Lophoaquaflori all lie at the center of “The Real Unreal’s” story, conceived by author LaShawn Wanak. It all begins with a blended family who has unknowingly unlocked portals to a different existence. As participants investigate these portals to the unknown, they will explore rooms that are both unfamiliar yet accessible through unforgettable psychedelic art.

In addition to the exhibition, Meow Wolf Dallas will also include a cafe, retail store, and venue for live events.

“When participants step into ‘The Real Unreal,’ they start a cosmic odyssey where surprises await around every corner, and each discovery sparks its own story,” Senior Vice President and Executive Creative Director Dale Sheehan said. “Every element in the exhibition weaves together a tapestry of characters, stories, and worlds. The creative energy of ‘The Real Unreal’ extends beyond the physical and leads to a potential unlimited host of cosmic side-effects.”

“The Real Unreal” brings together 150 artists and fabricators, including 38 from Texas, who have created the artistic installations making up 70 unique and captivating experiences within “The Real Unreal.” Artists of all forms – including muralists, sculptors, photographers, undermallers, and video game designers – have collaborated on a unique installation that will immerse visitors in a captivating narrative.

Collaborating artists working on this Meow Wolf Dallas project include Dan Lam, Emmanuelle John, Mariell Guzman, Lance McGoldrick, XaLaVier Nelson Jr., Riley Holloway, and Nico Salazar (Future Fantasy Delight).
