Meow Wolf

Some think of art as a nice-to-have rather than a must-have; but did you know that exposure to art has been proven to make you live longer? As Meow Wolf Foundation's Senior Director Gabriela Gomez writes, "Art literally has the ability to alter our physical and emotional states - including reconstructing our neural pathways." This nine-part blog series will explore the vital healing power of art and the inspiring figures devoting their lives to its transformative power...starting with Meow Wolf Foundation nonprofit grantees, Keshet Dance & Center for the Arts, with their Founder and Artistic Director, Shira Greenberg.
