I-Park is an intimate setting for serious, self-directed artists’ residencies.
For over 20 years, I-Park, in rural East Haddam, Connecticut, has been the home of a multidisciplinary artists-in-residence program. Through a highly competitive selection process, artists from around the world are invited to spend a month at I-Park to develop new works, experiment with challenging ideas and share with the public glimpses into their creative process during Open Studios events. An I-Park residency is an unconditional gift of time, space and fellowship. Since 2001, as a result of generous public support, I-Park has funded more than 1100 residencies. I-Park also shares its expansive grounds and facilities with the community during Open Trails Days, concerts, its internationally recognized Site-Responsive Art Biennale and a free Family Day. The works created at I-Park nourish our culture: original music compositions, books, films, art installations and architectural and landscape designs.
