Announcement: 2009 Residency Season at the Artists' Enclave at
I-Park

Application Deadline: January 5, 2009 (postmark date)

I-Park announces its ninth season hosting The Artists'
Enclave.  Artists' residencies, self-directed/project
oriented, will be offered from May through November 2009, with
possible off-season sessions in April and December.  Most
sessions are four weeks in duration.  Residencies will be
offered to visual (including digital) artists, music composers,
environmental artists, landscape and garden designers, creative
writers and architects.  Work samples will be evaluated through
a competitive, juried process.

There is a $25 application processing fee required and artists
are responsible for their own transportation to and from the
area.  They also provide for their own food and work materials.
The facility is otherwise offered at no cost to accepted
artists.

I-Park is a 450-acre natural woodland retreat in rural East
Haddam, Connecticut.  Accommodations include comfortable private
living quarters in an 1850's era farmhouse, shared bathroom
facilities and a private studio on the grounds.  An electric
kiln, music equipment, wireless internet and library facilities
are provided.

International applicants welcome.  To defray the cost of travel,
three $1,000 grants will be offered in 2009 to international
artists whose work is held in particularly high regard by the
selection committees (details on the website).

For additional project information and to download 2009
application materials, including an in depth FAQ, go to the

Important notice: for music composers, the application deadline
is January 17, 2009.  Also, I-Park is hosting a special
environmental art program in late summer/early autumn 2009.
Details of this program will be announced separately in October
(application deadline: February 16, 2009).
