48 Hour Daydream Institute

The School of Art Collection and Galleries at Kent State University are excited to announce a gallery take over by, The 48 Hour Daydream Institute, in our KSU Downtown Gallery located at 141 East Main Street, Kent, Ohio. 

The takeover will take place December 5th (11-4) and 6th (10-2), 2025. 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.
