Consider your creative practice as a space for strangers to connect.
You are the host to these strangers.
What do they need?
How can you maximise the potential for shared experience?
How can you make this connection authentic, impactful, fully immersive, complex?
How is the visitor welcomed?
What will they feel like when they leave?
How will your creative practice be impacted by these “guests”?
This programme allows you to create a point of hospitality using NCAD campus and environs as a site of enquiry. You will explore the process of welcoming others into our practice by carefully navigating the role of the host, the significance of guests, risk-taking, reciprocity, self-preservation, placemaking and care.
This Professional Certificate in Creative Hospitality introduces the learner to concepts of authenticity and shared experience in their work by adopting the fundamental principles and theories of hospitality, that is the practice of welcoming strangers.

In this episode, Jennie Moran talks about her craft, her career, and her advice to those seeking to enter the profession.
Jennie Moran is an artist who uses the philosophy, culture, and infrastructure of hospitality to create opportunities for shared connection. She started a nomadic hospitality project called Luncheonette in 2013 which operated as the canteen in the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, and was named Irish Café of the year at the 2019 Food and Wine Awards. In 2022 Luncheonette was invited to Artsadmin in London, to take part in a hospitality themed research residency and consultancy project called Say Yes to Who or What Turns Up, using an old café as a site of unconditional welcome. She has just completed a Masters in Gastronomy and Food Studies at TUD and is publishing a book entitled How to Soften Corners about the impact of hospitality in institutions. She provides mentorship in holistic hospitality to creative organisations and lectures at NCAD, and occasionally UCD School of Architecture, Cork Centre for Architectural Education (UCC) and TUD.
