New art is blossoming at Meow Wolf Grapevine, but not inside The Real Unreal explorable house. The immersive, interactive exhibition is expanding past the entrance doors into the parking lot.
Tin District artist Lauren Lewchuk will unveil P.A.R.K.E.D, a mural covering the parking lot area adjacent to Meow Wolf Grapevine, on May 27.
Lewchuk, whose work in graphic design and scenic art spans more than 14 years, said the mural explores themes of growth, identity and existentialism.
鈥淚t鈥檚 botanical but with some microorganisms thrown in there,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 spread out, so when you鈥檙e walking around this large section of the parking lot, you can see different things, but they all relate to each other.鈥�
Lewchuk is one of the more than 40 Texas artists featured at Meow Wolf Grapevine. Meow Wolf is an art and entertainment company known for its large-scale, immersive art experiences. Its location in Grapevine is the fourth installment in the country that combines mesmerizing artscapes by Texas artists and interactive storytelling.
鈥淐ontinued collaboration with the Texas artist community is vital to us,鈥� said Will Heron, Meow Wolf Grapevine鈥檚 artist liaison. 鈥淥ur community boasts an impressive array of talented artists. This project presents a fantastic opportunity to welcome new Texas talent into Meow Wolf Grapevine鈥檚 multiverse.鈥�
