JERSEY CITY — The Snow Ball, Jersey City’s most anticipated arts charity gala, makes a triumphant return on Saturday, January 24 at 8 p.m.
Art House Productions’ ninth annual, black tie creative and colorful arts gala will take place in the Journal Square section of Jersey City at Art House Productions’ new theater. The event raises funds for the company’s upcoming season of theater, music, visual art, JC Fridays festivals, dance, comedy, and poetry events. This year’s event will honor the KRE Group, sponsors of Art House’s new arts space.
The Snow Ball features live music by the Rebeca Vallejo trio. Madrid born vocalist and composer Rebeca Vallejo is a most versatile and innovative performer, known for using the language of Jazz to weave together the emotional beauty and rhythmic complexity of Brazilian music with those of her Flamenco ancestors, creating a sound that is truly unique.
“This year we are honoring Art House’s exciting new chapter at Journal Square. The 9th Annual Snow Ball will be a glamorous evening to remember and a celebration of how far we’ve come as an organization. Art House’s Snow Ball gives us an opportunity to revel in the artistic spirit of Jersey City, to connect with our community of supporters, and to celebrate our 14th season of innovative arts programs,” says Executive Director Christine Goodman.
Dress for the event is “black tie creative” and guests are encouraged to compete for the annual best-dressed guest or couple award by donning their favorite formal attire, including vintage, wedding, and costume-wear.
An $80 advanced purchase ticket for the fundraiser includes food and drink from this year’s Platinum Sponsor, City Diner. Art House is delighted to welcome our major food sponsors, GP’s Restaurant, LIMT, Porto, and Hamilton Inn. Mouth-watering desserts will be provided by Cholita Dessert Bar and Jaes Cakez. The Snow Ball’s open bar will offer fine wines from Cool Vines, beer from New Jersey Beer Company, and Chopin Vodka cocktails. The highly anticipated silent auction will feature unique art works and experience packages, including a 5-night getaway to Mountain Lake, VA. Tickets may be purchased in advance at www.arthouseproductions.org and $90 tickets will be available for purchase at the door on the night of the event.
Art House Productions is wheelchair accessible and located at 136 Magnolia Ave at the corner of Summit. The theater is adjacent to the Journal Square PATH Station.
