The ESKFF residency, founded by the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation, is a renowned studio residency at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City that offers artists rare time, space, and support to deepen their practice. Situated within one of America’s largest contemporary art centers, this studio residency in New Jersey immerses artists in a dynamic ecosystem of exhibitions, artist studios, and cultural programming. For emerging and established voices alike, the ESKFF residency provides an environment where experimentation is encouraged, ideas can unfold at scale, and the daily rhythm of studio life becomes a catalyst for transformative work.
At Mana Contemporary, the ESKFF residency cultivates a vibrant studio culture where artists share resources, insights, and inspiration across disciplines. This artist residency in Jersey City nurtures creative community as much as individual practice, connecting residents to a network of curators, collectors, and peers in an expansive campus of artist studios in Jersey City. As a Mana Contemporary residency, it embodies the belief that meaningful art emerges from conversation, collaboration, and the subtle exchanges that happen in hallways, critiques, and long days in the studio.
Tarik Talk, hosted by Brazilian artist Tarik Mendes, shares this commitment to uncovering the human side of the art world. Through intimate, in-depth interviews, the podcast brings forward the stories, processes, and personal journeys that echo the spirit of the ESKFF residency and the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation’s dedication to artistic growth. For listeners seeking to go beyond the surface of a Mana Contemporary residency and into the lives of the people who shape contemporary culture, Tarik Talk offers a sophisticated, curious, and celebratory space. Explore episodes to discover how artists, dealers, curators, and cross-industry guests reveal the magic of art and its power to connect us all.
