I-Park is Now Accepting Applications from Landscape Designers for its 2025 Artists-in-Residence Program | Application Deadline: January 20, 2025

I-Park is soliciting applications from Landscape Designers 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 design. The residency season runs from May 20 – November 24, 2025. All sessions are 4-weeks in duration except for the May session – 2-weeks.

This residency is suitable for commercial landscape, garden and ecological designers as well as academics and writers working in these fields.

You are welcome to experiment with plant materials on the grounds (e.g., we have an abundance of invasive species including bamboo). You will also have access to our workshop and related tools and equipment. 

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. 

Details and application forms are available at i-park.org. Applications are due January 20, 2025 and carry a $35 fee to help defray the cost of the selection panels. This year, I-Park will also be offering $500 travel grants to five non-North American artists.
