Program Description

Located within an expansive nature preserve in rural East Haddam, Connecticut (U.S.), I-Park provides residents with a quiet, retreat-type setting, private living quarters in a renovated 1840s farmhouse, a private studio, meals program, fully equipped workshop and modest library – as well as creative access to the grounds which include miles of art/nature trails. 2023 will feature a special, though totally optional, opportunity for artists from all supported disciplines to create site-responsive artworks during their residency. Residencies are self-directed and non-judgmental. You decide what you’re working on and when. Details and application forms are available at https://www.i-park.org/artist-residencies/apply/ Applications are due January 9, 2023 and carry a $35 fee to help defray the cost of the selection panels. This year, I-Park will also be offering $500 travel grants to four non-North American artists. For further information, contact info@i-park.org or 860-873-2468.
