Meow Wolf has been recognized in Fast Company’s annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2022 as #3 in the Live Events category, for delivering trippy experiences in Denver and Vegas. This is the company’s second time being selected for the prestigious list in the past three years. This year’s selection honors businesses that are making the biggest impact on their industries and culture as a whole—ultimately thriving in today’s ever-changing world. These companies are creating the future today with some of the most inspiring accomplishments of the 21st century. In addition to the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies, 528 organizations are recognized across 52 categories.
“To be ranked among the most innovative companies in the world is truly an honor,” said Jose Tolosa,
CEO of Meow Wolf. “Meow Wolf has come a long way since our humble beginnings in 2008, but there is so much more we can’t wait to share. We believe that there is unlimited creativity everywhere you look—and much of it goes unrealized—but a commitment to community and collaboration will unlock experiences the world has yet to dream possible.”
Meow Wolf continued its psychedelic hot streak in 2021, opening two new permanent installations in addition to upgrading and reopening their original installation, House of Eternal Return, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Omega Mart opened in February in Las Vegas, Nevada, and in the fall, opened its third and most ambitious offering: Denver’s Convergence Station, a massive installation centered around the idea of quantum travel, complete with its own story arc. Meow Wolf has now welcomed a total of over 2,000,000 visitors across the three locations, and the company is now home to nearly 1,000 employees, hiring over 600 new roles in 2021. It also renewed its certification as a B-Corporation, growing a team dedicated to positive social impact and building a more inclusive and sustainable society through art and creativity.
