2009 Environmental Art Residency Program 

As in 2007, I-Park will host an international environmental art program on the grounds of its 450-acre artists’ community in rural East Haddam, Connecticut (U.S.).  The program will consist of two, two-week focused residency sessions comprised of environmental artists, landscape/garden designers and other visual, music and performance-based artists whose work engages the natural landscape.  A public event will be scheduled for September 19, 2009 to showcase the work. 

The two identical residency sessions will be scheduled for:

            August 17 – August 31, 2009
            September 2 – September 16, 2009

Artists/designers are invited to submit proposals for site-specific works on or about the land.  Twelve artists/designers will be selected by a three-person independent panel.  Artists will be awarded a grant of $1,200 plus up to an additional $1,000 for reimbursement of travel costs and/or materials.

Artists will be given space on the land to realize their environmental projects.  They will also be provided with comfortable living quarters and meals for the duration of their residency.

The application deadline for this program is February 23, 2009.

I-Park Grants to International Artists

For the 2009 season, I-Park will grant 3 international artists (based on citizenship) $1,000 as part of their acceptance into the residency program. These grants are separate from those that are associated with our Environmental Art Program and are mainly intended to help defray transportation costs.

All applications are initially processed by the jury without regard to citizenship or need. Only after the jury process is complete do we review the packages to identify those artists requesting grants. Final grant decisions are made by a separate panel. Applicants may or may not be asked to send a statement of need prior to the meeting of this special panel, but such a statement is not required as part of the basic application process.
