About Art House Productions
Art House Productions, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in late September 2001. Art House began as informal gathering of poets and community members in direct response to the tragedies of September 11th. At that time, there were no consistent performance venues for artists in Jersey City to meet one another and share new work. Art House’s inaugural event sprung from the desire to connect a devastated community through art and dialogue.
Art House has grown since its inception and has significantly influenced the advancement of the arts community, acting as one of the major pioneering forces for the arts in Jersey City. This expansion of activity and programming necessitated internal growth as well, and in 2007 Art House became incorporated and filed for 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. Art House inspires nurtures and promotes the arts in our community through accessible, multi-disciplinary initiatives.
