Welcome to Middleof!
What is Middleof?
Operated by The Puppetry Institute, a local non-profit dedicated to the arts, Middleof not only promises a feast for the senses but also supports young artists through its scholarship program. A third of the installation’s profits will fund these initiatives, fostering creativity and providing employment opportunities for Bay Area actors and artists.!
Located in the Capitola mall 1855 41st Ave unit D-06
Step into a realm where puppetry meets technology and imagination reigns supreme.
Middleof invites you to dive into a surreal experience where every corner unveils a new enchantment.
Go down the rabbit hole and immerse yourself in a realm of whimsy and wonder!
Meet magical creatures face-to-face in an immersive art gallery that transports you into
a magical dimension, created by the hands and imaginations of local Santa Cruz artists!
As you wander through a 5000 sq ft multisensory landscape, prepare to interact with larger-than-life mythical beings that come alive through touch, movement, artwork and light.
