The Experience

Whimsical, interactive dreamworld

Enter the Living Dream

Mesmerize is an immersive art experience in South Austin where the boundaries between waking life and fantasy dissolve. At its heart lies the Colossal Crystal, an 8-foot centerpiece that serves as the focal point of this fractured dreamworld. Visitors are invited to become "Rogue Explorers" and embark on a journey through over 15 unique art installations, each designed by local Austin artists.

A World of Wonder

Each room offers a distinct sensory experience, from the interactive rainbow mural of Painted Passage by Inne Aguilar to the playful, nightmare-inspired Mulligrub Meadow by Liza Fishbone. Explore Halftone Mirage, a projection-mapped room that brings Bill Tavis's animations to life, ascend the Keys to the Sky staircase to an ethereal cloudscape, or discover the hidden Collective Sigh crawlspace by Hannah Busekrus. The entire space is a tapestry of art, sound, interactivity, and tactile elements, encouraging personal exploration and discovery.
