Program Description

I-Park is accepting applications for its fully funded General Residency Program. These onsite, multidisciplinary residencies are open to artists and designers working in the visual arts, creative writing, music composition, moving image, architecture, interdisciplinary practice and landscape/garden design. The residency season runs from May – November, 2025. All sessions are 4-weeks in duration except for the May session – 2-weeks. 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. Residencies are self-directed and non-judgmental. You decide what you’re working on and when. This year, I-Park will also be offering $500 travel grants to five non-North American artists.
