More about Draíocht’s Dreamer’s Space Commission by Corrina Askin

Draíocht’s Dreamer’s Space is a series of small interactions around our building that inspire ideas and stillness. Created by artist Corrina Askin, you are all invited in to Draíocht to meet and interact with Corrina’s imaginary array of lovable characters – Louis the Unicorn, the Birds, and so many more.

The trail is a Draíocht Children's Commission created in direct response to advice from pupils in Scoil Mhuire Senior School who felt that our lobby needed “more fun stuff". Drop in and explore the self-directed trail during Draíocht's opening hours, Monday-Saturday 10am-6pm. Pick up your free Dreamer’s Space Trail Guide in our foyer, or ask for one at Box Office.
