Art House Productions
Art House Productions is a home for adventurous artists, audiences, and ideas. They engage, inspire, entertain, and challenge audiences with ambitious visual and performing arts programs. They provide arts education programs that promote life-long learning to a diverse community and celebrate the arts' elemental power to illuminate their common humanity.
Art House Productions was founded in late September 2001 by a community leader and professional performing artist. Art House's inaugural event, held shortly after September 11th, sprung from the desire to connect a devastated community through art and dialogue. Since then, Art House has established itself as a pioneer of artistic and cultural programming in Jersey City, producing new theatrical work, dance, comedy, and visual arts programming that is innovative, fresh, and multi-disciplinary. Art House Productions has established itself as a cultural landmark in Jersey City, attaining not-for-profit status in 2007 and presenting work professionally—but the spirit of community that led to the organization's inception still guides its artistic programming.
In 2007, Art House became incorporated and was granted nonprofit 501(c)(3) status. In late 2007, the organization was presented with the Key to the City and an official Proclamation for its outstanding contributions to the City of Jersey City, NJ.
In 2021, Art House Productions merged with Jersey Art Exchange (JAX) to increase and enhance existing education programs. In 2023, Art House Productions moved into a permanent performing and visual arts center at The Hendrix in Jersey City, NJ, steps from the Grove St. PATH Station. The development comes courtesy of SILVERMAN, The Albanese Group, and Liberty Harbor. The state-of-the-art facility includes a gallery, a black box theater with dressing rooms, and administrative offices.
