Arcadia Earth

What Arcadia Earth does

Arcadia Earth is a New York-domiciled, privately held entertainment company that produces and tours a single core product, 'A Vision for Tomorrow,' a 53-54 minute 360° full-dome immersive planetarium film combining handcrafted visual art, spatial surround audio, and original music on environmental themes such as oceans, forests, wildlife, climate change, and sustainability. The underlying technology is a 360° projection system deployed inside partner planetariums and science centers, with content produced by human artists (explicitly not AI) and operated as a touring experience rather than a fixed-format consumer software product.

The company operates a hybrid distribution model: a flagship fixed museum location in downtown Toronto, a touring engagement at TELUS Spark Science Centre in Calgary, and announced upcoming locations in Boulder and Portland. Tickets are sold directly through the arcadia.earth website and via third-party ticketing platform Fixr, with multiple price tiers (general admission, VIP, child, student, senior, veteran, and group bookings for 15+ attendees). Audience segmentation is horizontal — families, children aged 6+, general consumers (4 to 80+), and corporate partners.

Revenue is generated primarily through ticketed admissions, supplemented by corporate sponsorship arrangements with mission-aligned organizations (MetLife, Water Mission, American Forests, and the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet). Cumulative funding raised through February 2022 is approximately $4.7 million from investors including Vanadium Capital Management, Downey Ventures, and 51 Blue Stone Ln, alongside undisclosed participation in the 2022 round. The company is led by Cristiano Quieti (CEO) and Bryan Verona (CFO), with reported headcount of 1-10 employees.

Direct peers

• Meow Wolf: Operates large-scale immersive, multi-room art attractions combining installation and technology on environmental/surreal themes; the closest direct comparable in scale, model and category to Arcadia's touring-plus-flagship immersive art approach.
• ARTECHOUSE: DC-origin operator of dedicated immersive digital art venues using projection mapping and original commissions; serves a directly overlapping audience of art-and-tech immersive experience seekers.
• teamLab: Japan-based creator of large-scale immersive digital art installations and museums (Planets, Borderless) that combine projection, spatial audio and original music — closely aligned with Arcadia's 360° dome experience format and technology stack.
• Cosm: Operates large-format LED dome and immersive-venue experiences (formerly Cosm/Dome Technology/immersive sports), making it the closest planetarium-grade immersive competitor with overlapping technology and venue economics.
• Immersive Van Gogh / Beyond Van Gogh: Network of touring immersive art exhibitions running in cities across the US and Canada, leveraging projection-mapped venues for ticketed experiences; same touring-plus-ticketing distribution pattern Arcadia uses for 'A Vision for Tomorrow'.
• Frameless: London immersive art gallery offering multi-room projection-based art experiences — directly comparable business model (ticketed, themed immersive rooms) to Arcadia's planetarium shows.

Emerging players

• Sleep No More (Punchdrunk): Long-running immersive theater experience that lets audiences roam themed environments with original audio design; shares Arcadia's emphasis on enveloping visitors in a curated, multi-sensory environment with original content.
• City Museum (St. Louis): Independent, environmentally themed immersive museum built from repurposed industrial and natural materials; comparable as a single-operator immersive environment that mixes art, education and tourism.

Broad incumbents

• Dalí Theatre-Museum: Figueres museum with original immersive/installation-driven exhibits around an artist's environmental and surreal themes; relevant adjacency as a permanent immersive-content museum.
• MSG Sphere Experiences: Venue-scale immersive entertainment operator (Las Vegas/East London) using wraparound LED and spatial audio to deliver original cinematic experiences — broader and far better capitalized, but operates in the same immersive-content category.
