I-Park is an international artists-in-residence program offering onsite residencies in visual arts, creative writing, music composition/sound art, new media and architecture/landscape design. Since its founding in 2001, I-Park has sponsored over 1,000 fully-funded residencies. I-Park stewards its private 450-acre nature preserve so as to safeguard its gnarly wildness and associated animal habitats – while encouraging sensitive artistic interventions and interpretations within this space. I-Park engages the community through its Open Studios, exhibitions, concerts, symposia and initiatives that facilitate artistic collaboration.
