Participation, Support
I-Park is a growing, evolving cultural and physical space – and you can help us realize the I-Park vision through your participation and support. If you would like to be involved with the I-Park project, there are a number of ways to do so, including volunteer/intern opportunities and financial and in-kind contributions.
Select the method of participation that's of interest to you:
Volunteer/Intern Options In-Kind Contributions Financial Contributions
For a pdf of all the participation options, click here. Below are some immediate projects and needs:
Librarian: maintaining the organization of the I-Park book, video and music library, including some aspects of the archives. Includes acknowledging and processing gifts and other new additions. Estimate: 2-4 hours per month.
- Note that this function is presently being covered. You may wish to check back at a future time.
Re-organizing/maintaining the Information & Events area: this is a resource to the artists: local information (markets, art supplies, restaurants, directions, etc.), upcoming cultural events, artists’ resources (other residency programs, funding sources, etc.). Estimate: 2-4 hours per month. This function could be moved online and, therefore, maintained remotely.
Hosting the welcome dinner for arriving artists: this could be a shared project with other volunteers (splitting up the duties, backing each other up, etc.). This usually takes place on a Wednesday evening once a month.
- Note that this function is presently being covered. You may wish to check back at a future time.
Sunday in the park: lead an informative nature/site walk for guests and visitors on 3 or 4 designated occasions during the year.
Creative Projects:
• Luminarias: we would like to come up with some innovative ideas for floating and land-based luminarias to enhance our evening events and possibly as an element in the Thanatopolis project.
• We would like to create a funky, new outdoor shower for the artists. Although we have some ideas along these lines, we’re open to new suggestions.
Hot List of I-Park Needs: • down comforters (new or in good condition)
• a 12-16’ boat for the pond, Chinese junk or something similar to carry 4-8 people (could be something homemade/funky)
• used pickup and/or dump truck, mainly for use on the property but occasionally used on the road to transport material
