Meow Wolf Grapevine’s “The Real Unreal” experiential art exhibition is opening on July 14 after years of preparation. To raise awareness—and offer prizes and free tickets—”interdimensional aerobic beings” known as Meow Wolf mall walkers will be popping up around Dallas-Fort Worth today through Monday.
We’ve told you before about Meow Wolf at Grapevine Mills, which will offer “a journey through a technicolor wonderland that blends storytelling, technology, and immersive art.” Different dimensions of perspective and creativity will be on display through more than 30 rooms of “multidimensional art and compelling narrative.”
For the next few days, the Meow Wolf mall walkers will be playing games and interacting with passersby in downtown Fort Worth, Oak Cliff, Grand Prairie, Dallas’ Klyde Warren Park, and Frisco. They’ll be offering handouts that include the chance to win prizes including swag and free tickets to the “fast-selling” Meow Wolf Grapevine experience.

Slated to be built in Fort Worth's Historic Southside neighborhood, the planned $70 million museum will get the city funding once the balance for the project has been raised. Designed by the New York office of Denmark-based Bjarke Ingels Group, the building will house the museum on its second level, with a business incubator, restaurant, 250-seat amphitheater, and storefronts at ground level. “Literally and figuratively, it was designed to be a beacon of light in an area that has been dark for a very long time,” says Jarred Howard, principal of the project's developer.
