Tarik Talk at ART150

ART150 is a contemporary art space at 150 Bay Street in Jersey City, dedicated to showcasing emerging and established voices while connecting exhibitions, studio activity, and cultural exchange. Situated within this creative hub, the Tarik Talk Podcast series offers visitors and listeners another way into the neighborhood’s artistic conversation, bringing images, voices, and spaces into focus for a wider community.

This episode with Josh Urso centers the energy of ART150 itself: a place where gallery walls and working studios exist side by side, where visitors might encounter a finished exhibition one moment and a work in progress the next. For Jersey City Art readers, it is an invitation to experience 150 Bay Street not only as a building, but as a living network of artists, ideas, and collaborations in motion.
