    If you love art and how it mixes with technology, infinity rooms, flashing lights and DO NOT GET MOTION SICKNESS from moving images, you will appreciate the exhibits. I do not recommend this if you have seizure precautions due to some exhibits that have flashing lights. Take Dramamine, take breaks from looking or something if you still want to see it because it can make you dizzy at times. Artechouse is tucked away down near The Standard apartments and MKT. I had looked at The Standard before moving to the city as an apartment option and also had a friend who lived there. Artechouse did not exist about 4 years ago. They have a private parking lot shared with Elite Pickleball and some other business now. It's nice to see this area built up. You can take it from The Heights Trails if you don't mind the walk or live nearby because it's just a few blocks from the trails. The entrance to the building is accessible with a ramp. When you walk in, someone scans your QR code ticket and gives you instructions when the exhibit will start. We went to see the Rolling Stone Amplified exhibit but also had access to Blooming Wonders and Intangible Forms. While you wait, there's an open space where the gift shop and XR Bar are located. They have cocktails and mocktails tailored to the exhibits. I had the spirit free Blossom Serenade which had green tea, peach, strawberry and lemon which was good and not too tart or sweet. They give you a plastic cup with lid to bring in to the exhibit area. Multi-stall restrooms are on site. When you walk further in like a maze, there are separate rooms for the exhibits with bean bags and benches to view the experience in multiple ways. Rolling Stone Amplified - They took off the Blooming Wonders exhibit to switch to Rolling Stone in the larger room. They had a recorded presentation narrated by Kevin Bacon, surprisingly. I didn't recognize his voice. It was like watching an IMAX documentary but on 3 walls and the floor. It was a cool experience though can be hard to watch and follow since you're trying to capture everything. I found myself often looking left to right and back or on the floor. The bean bag was comfy. The infinity room with all the mirrors had rock and musician photos all over. It was fun jamming to the music. Blooming Wonders - If you like flowers and butterflies, this is up your alley. I'm not really a butterfly person, real or not, even though I used to play with them as a kid. I thought the flowers and images were pretty. The butterflies fluttering around and the screen moving up can make you nauseous or feel dizzy. Be careful. Intangible Forms - Very cool laser exhibit with red lights and some electrifying art. Be cautious with the flashing lights at times. It's dark inside, so watch where you're walking. It wasn't super busy on a Monday night, but it was also a UH vs Colorado University game that night. I'd say the crowd was mostly older adults for the Rolling Stone exhibit. Some of the interactive parts also didn't seem to work or was confusing. The vibe of the place in the back, especially with the plastic entrances to the dark area of Intangible Forms reminded me of something you might see in a scary movie like Saw or Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's basically an open concrete area with art and technology broken into different rooms/areas. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't pay $40 for one exhibit because you can go through it rather quickly in an hour or 1.5 hrs. Take your time with the experience. Luckily, my friend had a ticket deal that was half the price and gave us the freedom to explore the other exhibits. I wonder what they'll come out with next.

    Where do I even begin here... My company hosted our annual event at this venue and we always make it as extravagant as possible. Typically it was done at our HQ but we decided to try out something new this time. We are glad we did. Artechouse blew it out of the water and our expectations were high! The overall feeling there feels like a contemporary art museum which I think it is normally? They had a laser art installation already set up there which was really neat. The visuals and audio for our products were top notch and we got multiple compliments from our customers about the venue and the whole experience. The catering there was also amazing. All the food provided was some of the best food I have ever had. I am not even exaggerating. It was that good. The drinks were well-made as well. The servers and bartenders were all very personable and professional. I would be ecstatic if I were to have another event hosted here which I hope is the case in the near future. Thank you Artechouse for the amazing event!

    It was cool, the staff were very friendly and conversational. I think the price point is okay, because ours was interactive, but it's not a big space. Idk that I would go back. They have a bar that includes mocktails for purchase. & cute little activities for the kids. I would not recommend the current displays for anyone with motion sickness!!! Bean bags were soft & fun to just relax into. Parking in shared with other businesses

    Have a special needs daughter and we went right at opening and she had the time of her life. The art is amazing we got the two for 40$ deal would definitely return the only thing I would suggest would be a dedicated time for kids and families like her.

    Blooming Flowers exhibition

    June 16, 2025 Went and saw Blooming Wonders... which was an immersive flowers all over the room. You felt like you were in the middle of a larger than life flower garden. interactive floral fields to infinity rooms blooming beneath your feet, each installation transforms natural motifs into vibrant, ever-evolving expressions of art. Movement, sound, and touch become transformation tools, allowing you to awaken blossoms, shift dimensions, or trigger surreal dreamscapes in real time. Loved it

    amazing experience! i have visited a lot of museums and "museum experiences" but this is definitely one of my favorites. it's interactive, there is plenty of seating, they offer beer, wine, and cocktails. the space is airy and it doesn't feel cramped. great place to take a date and there are a ton of restaurants around the neighborhood to visit after. excellent experience, would definitely recommend and i will be returning! xx

    Artechouse has been all over my social media feed recently. I saw an ad for discounted tickets for the last week of their exhibit, Time and Space. I was able to score a ticket for $10 (normally $39). The museum is located at White Oak Station. Parking wasn't an issue since it was a Sunday afternoon, but I could see it being an issue during peak hours. The lobby is an open space. There aren't any walls separating the gift shop, XR Bar, and ticket area. They were playing a good variety of electronic music which created a cool vibe. The exhibits are self paced and you can move freely between the rooms. There's no time limit on how long you can stay in each room/exhibit. I didn't realize it at the time, but they allow you to bring in drinks from the bar. Just let the bartender know and they'll pour your drink in a plastic cup. If you're planning to stay in the bar area, they will serve it in a regular glass. At the time of my visit, it was happy hour. I believe specialty cocktails were $8. You are also allowed to go in and out of the exhibits if you want to order another drink. I had an Espresso Martini and it was very good! It was honestly one of the better espresso martinis I've had in awhile. I also tried The Umbra. I enjoyed this cocktail and I appreciated that the bartender served it in an actual glass instead of a plastic cup since I wasn't planning to go back to the exhibit. The Time and Space exhibit consisted of three pieces of work: Beyond the Light, Intangible Forms, and Eternal Life. I started with Eternal Life. The room was dark and had images that were projected onto a circular screen on the ceiling. They had chairs and floor pillows for people to lay on. It was so calm and serene and I could have stayed there for hours. Next I went to Beyond the Light. The room had projections on the floor and walls. There were times when the moving images gave me vertigo. I'm sensitive to quick moving imagery so I knew I wasn't going to be able to stay in the room for that long. It was really cool though so if you don't have any sensory sensitivities, you'll enjoy it. They did have signs warning people that it may be too intense if you have any sort of neurological condition or sensitivity. Last was Intangible Forms. The pieces were different lasers and strobe lights and it was really cool. The sound that accompanied some of the pieces were quite loud. Again, if you have any sort of sensory sensitivity, you should use caution. I really enjoyed the exhibit, however I wouldn't pay full price for this simply because it is a smaller art installation. It took me about 45 minutes to go through everything. If you sign up for emails, they'll send discount codes. I've already received emails with two different discount codes for upcoming exhibits. I am looking forward to their next installation: Rolling Stone Presents Amplified. I'm a huge music fan and I think it will be a cool exhibit to visit.

    First and foremost, there is a bar, so don't think this unassuming building houses pretension. Fractal Worlds is a techno-organic, art deco spectacle with gothic glamour, but it's also very accessible for the curious. There are smaller works that invite viewers to investigate art with a wave of their hands, and saying more would ruin the surprise. For the more industrial minded, Intangible Forms is cutting edge tech with heavy bass and abstract concepts.

    8/2/2025: This was way more impressive than I expected! We purchased tickets in advance. The parking is a little strange as there are multiple sporting businesses around the same area, all with special parking. Parking is free. This is a Digital Media Museum. They use lighting and AI to create an unforgettable experience. It is a self guided tour and you are able to spend as much time as you want in the different themed rooms. We were there for 1.5 hours. Ticket were $30.00 each. I don't want to give away too much as it could ruin the experience for you. All I can say is I want a room like this in my home. It was part dream state, part euphoric, part spiritual, part technology. I visited 2 of the rooms more than once because they were so deep and engaging. The "Imagine..." was so cool with it almost feeling like a mind reading experience. The next room full of strobes and music with images of flowers and butterflies was refreshing. The laser room was straight up trippy with the darkness and the sounds. I do not recommend this for small children, nor anyone who has seizures or balance issues. The lights, sounds, and movements were intense at times. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The even have a bar. I did not try it, but that is kind of cool.

    Sandra K.

    Blooming wonders is a winner. This exhibit was so much fun and our three year olds loved it. So many things to see and do and just relax. That's the whole point. Just enjoy. The just imagine AI screen was the best thing ever. I could have spent all day there doing that.

    This is just a fun experience to go through with friends. Cool things to see and explore and afterwards you can order a fun drink from the bar. Only 4 stars because it was smaller then some of the other immersive experiences but at same price. Otherwise, it's fun and parking is easy and free.

    Nikki C.

    This experience was pretty cool. You start out at their gift shop and bar area where you can chill and get yourself together. Their experiences were really immersive and peaceful especially for someone who doesn't have a focus in tech. My only issue was, although great, as quick as I walked in I found myself back at their lobby area. I'd love if there were a bit more exhibitions.

The pamphlets are for the people and they can do whatever the hell they want with it. He must be so bored standing around doing nothing with his life that he decided to make an issue with my PIECE OF PAPER. The art is utter dog sh*t. I don't need to go to art school to say the art was awful. The art looks like someone took their poop and smeared it on canvas with scribbles. I think a toddler can create better art. Everyone looked so depressed to be working there which I can see why if I was staring at bullsh*t all day. I've been to so many art museums over the years and I have never had such an awful experience with the pieces and the staff. Rude staff, crap art. Only people who know nothing about art will enjoy this "collection". Make sure to not take pictures of the trash work, point at it, or have your pamphlet open because they will cause an issue with you.

The first room you get to was the dj booth and it was severely underwhelming...only the one 40 year old male in our group liked it. The littles couldn't figure out how to make it work well enough for them to enjoy...and they refused to let anyone help them. The 1950s vibe with its paneling felt cheap and aesthetically reeked of Grandmas house. Just my opinion but I'd modernize those 1950s elements to make the experience less "Munsters" and more "Monsters Inc."...but with todays "Maxamalist" trend, most people will probably appreciate the "WKRP in Cincinnati" vibe. Overall, from an artist perspective it was too much junk and not enough art in the mix. They still could have used all the junk...just in a better way in some areas. I did really love the teeny tiny bar built in to the bottom of the metal pole in cowboix hevvvven, it was an unexpected treasure and the monster bartender smoking not one but three cigarettes cracked me up. I liked the doors disguised as other things..vending machine, elevator, fridge and etc., and the concept of the tornado room but I thought it was weakly executed if the goal is to portray a tornado I would have liked to have seen the car tilted on one side like it was lifting off and possibly a bit of "wind" in the room,..the water hoses all over the place needed an exaggerated shadow or something.. but the little kids and 20-30 year old's and non artsy people would easily love it and artsy people who can just throw random paint on a canvas and call it art...those people would love it too. Maybe I've grown old and judgy because I kept finding things I wanted to "do over" or "tweek" for them. If I could just turn that off and appreciate what is already there it would have changed the whole narrative for me. Apologies to the masterminds who created all of this, on the whole it is a brilliant masterpiece. The seek and find room was fun for the kids and the rotating blacklight was a nice touch...but it was soo doomsday with all the brown and black..and I get it that its supposed to be stuff submerged in dirt but the 80s girl in me would have preferred sand instead of dirt or at least a layer of sand near the top and possibly a tiny ray of breakthough sunlight from the ceiling and maybe a layer of "water" (clear turquoise epoxy maybe?) on top to give it a ray of hope among the gloom. The dungeon room where you line up the radio waves to make lightning overhead had all the elements of being a fun room with its little alcoves, cute little cave monsters, musical wall and etc but only one person in our group of 8 was inspired to try all the things in that room...but to be fair, she's the one who downloaded the app that helped you discover all the things the room had to offer and it took a long time to make the cool ceiling light up. The little kids were so excited about going through disguised doors they forgot to look in all the cabinets to discover all the cool stuff in the break room and a few of the other rooms. Seriously, if you go, download the app..it makes the experience way better. Its not really a place you'd enjoy as much if you had mobility issues..there is an elevator but going to the elevator breaks of the flow if you are with a group with kids who want to go up and down every 5 minutes. Actually, there was a second elevator but it wasn't operational when we were there. The bathrooms were very clean and we appreciated that there were places to get a drink (cowboix hevvven) or snack (the littles got rice crispy treats) inside the attraction.
