Meow Wolf is a mind-blowing multiverse. The Santa Fe-based arts collective is spreading the love to New Mexico educators with a giveaway for free tickets during Teachers Appreciati­on week, which kicked off Monday.

According to Meow Wolf, the giveaway for New Mexico teachers will be run through its Santa Fe Facebook page.

To enter, teachers and fans of teachers need to comment on the Facebook posts to nominate their favorite New Mexico public school teacher.

Twenty-five teachers will then be selected to receive a four-pack of tickets to the “House of Eternal Return” in Santa Fe. The giveaway is open to all PreK-12 public school teachers, administra­tors and faculty in New Mexico.

Winners will be selected on Friday at random, and will need to provide a New Mexico school ID to receive their tickets.

“At Meow Wolf, we believe in the value of public education, and give tremendous thanks to the teachers, educators and administra­tors who dedicate their lives to serving our next generation,” said Danika Padilla, Meow Wolf’s senior director of social impact, in a press release. “We’re a Certified B Corporatio­n and are committed to supporting New Mexicans and our local community. Our teachers have continued their tireless efforts to support students and parents during COVID-19, and Meow Wolf is glad to recognize their efforts this Teacher Appreciati­on Week.”

Meow Wolf has spent the past year installing a variety of upgrades to the exhibit with new installati­ons from such guest artists as Corinne Loperfido, Paolo Puck and Obsidiopol­is. The installati­on has revised its traffic flow and displays to align with museum health protocols. The facility requires face masks, temperatur­e checks, social distancing and employee COVID-19 testing. Every day, in preparatio­n for guests, the “House of Eternal Return” undergoes rigorous sanitizati­on, Meow Wolf officials said.
