Meow Wolf

Meow Wolf laid off 8 employees on 2023-12-04.

Meow Wolf, the Santa Fe-based immersive arts and entertainment company, laid off 201 employees and furloughed an additional 56, representing a significant portion of its workforce. The company, which employs nearly 200 remaining staff, made these cuts in response to the severe economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. With its flagship House of Eternal Return installation closed and major events like the Taos Vortex festival canceled, the company faced a critical revenue crunch. The layoffs, announced in late April 2020, affected employees across all locations, including upcoming projects in Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Washington DC. Meow Wolf cited the need to ensure the company's survival and future success, providing severance packages and support to affected staff.
