I-Park announces its eighth season hosting The Atists' Enclave.  Artists' residencies, self-directed/project oriented, will be offered from May through November 2008.  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 $20 applications 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 farmhouse, shared bathroom facilities and a private studio on the grounds.
