About the The 48 Hour Daydream Institute: 

The 48 Hour Daydream Institute is a professional daydreaming service and think-tank offering imaginary services and professional certificates. Visitors, audiences, participants, and passers-by are encouraged to imagine, wonder, and question what The 48 Hour Daydream Institute is or could be. Audiences are presented with the opportunity to take a free professional certificate. 

Officiated certificates in daydreaming, mucking-about, lollygagging, dwaddling, and dilly-dallying can be obtained from The 48 Hour Daydream Institute. The 48 Hour Daydream Institute is a pop-up shop only active for 48 hours at a time, leaving audiences wondering, "was it really even there at all, or did I just imagine it?" All events are free and open to the public. This exhibit is presented with support from the Ohio Arts Council.
