Creative Journeys is a two-year public art program that brings together Dublin Airport, Business to Arts and the National College of Art and Design (NCAD).

Every year, millions of passengers start or finish journeys in Dublin Airport, coming from and connecting to the rest of the world. This partnership between Ireland's national gateway and Ireland's oldest art school celebrates these journeys. Supported by Business to Arts, over the next two years Creative Journeys will deliver a full public art programme at Dublin Airport, utilising sites located in landside and airside areas to allow both departing and arriving passengers to view the artworks, and enabling members of the public who are at the airport but not travelling to view some of the installations.

Participating artists to date include Philip Napier, Deirdre Byrne and designer/photographer duo Bob Gray (Red&Grey) and Matthew Thompson, who over a five-year period have captured, curated and communicated the working practices and outputs of NCAD students across a diverse range of creative disciplines for an installation entitled NCAD Illuminated.
