DENVER — Meow Wolf's CEO Jose Tolosa notified employees via email Monday that the Santa Fe, New Mexico-based immersive art and entertainment company planned to cut expenses by 10% and reduce its workforce by 165 employees.
The company plans to lay off 111 employees across its exhibition and corporate teams on Wednesday, along with 54 bargaining unit positions in Las Vegas, where Meow Wolf has an exhibition it opened in February 2021. The company is "actively negotiating" with the Meow Wolf Workers Collective, or MWWC, the union representing its employees, as there is no collective bargaining agreement currently in place.
The company employs more than 1,000 people in corporate offices in Los Angeles and New York and across four exhibitions:
- Convergence Station in Denver
- The House of Eternal Return in Santa Fe
- Omega Mart in Las Vegas
- The Real Unreal in Grapevine, a suburb in the Dallas-Forth Worth area
