I-Park is now accepting applications for its fully-funded multi-disciplinary residencies. This multidisciplinary program is open to architects and landscape architects/designers looking to enrich their practice in a collegial, retreat-like setting – in the company of artists working in the visual arts, creative writing, music composition/sound art and moving image/new media. 

Located within a 450-acre nature preserve in rural East Haddam, Connecticut (U.S.), I-Park provides residents with 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 I-Park’s expansive grounds. Residencies are self-directed, undisturbed and non-judgmental. You decide what you’re working on and when. 

Residents can use their time at I-Park to work on commercial commissions, competition proposals, dissertations, model building or theoretical investigations. Or they can simply tinker in the workshop or experiment with a project out on the land – freed from the constraints of a client, budget or even a specific purpose.
