  • Monday, April 1 Deadline for 2013 I-Park Foundation Landscape/Garden Design Residency Program

    Applications are due April 1, 2013, for the I-Park Foundation, Inc. 2013 multi-disciplinary artists-in-residence program. Landscape/garden designers and landscape architects can expand and enrich their creative practice in a retreat-like, collegial setting in East Haddam, Connecticut – in the company of visual artists, composers, writers and, beginning in 2013, architects. Self-directed residencies will be offered from May through November 2013. Most residencies are four weeks in duration, though split (2-week) sessions can occasionally be arranged to accommodate busy career schedules.

    There is also a special Environmental Art Program in 2013 (residency and exhibition) for which landscape/garden design proposals are being solicited. International applicants are welcome. To defray the cost of travel, four $750.00 grants, to be distributed among all the disciplines, will be awarded to non-North American participants whose work is held in particularly high regard by the Grant Committee. Program details, application form and comprehensive FAQ are available online at http://www.i-park.org/residency-programs/2013-residency-program. For more information, contact Amanda Baker, Residency Program Manager, by e-mail: iparkapplications@gmail.com or by phone: 860-873-2468.
