Founded in 2019 by longtime collaborators and native Texans Clay Lillard and Mateo Gutierrez, Mesmerize specializes in creating dynamic, large-scale immersive art events in the heart of Austin, Texas.  The duo launched their first major immersive pop-up experience, Enter the Multiverse, in downtown Austin in 2020, drawing over 18,000.  What started as a temporary installation quickly grew into a dynamic experience. 

​

The new Mesmerize experience, Living Dream, is a permanent exhibit in South Austin featuring the collaborative efforts of over 50 local artists and volunteers, and is now open for guests of all ages to explore.
