January 23, 2016
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the City of Jersey City I am proud to congratulate Art House Productions during the
celebration of the 10th Annual Snow Ball Gala.
The 10th Annual Snow Ball Gala is a reminder of the importance of visual and performing arts within
our community, as well as the artists who live and work here in Jersey City. It is through the inspiring
mission of organizations such as Art House Productions that individuals of all backgrounds are given
the support and tools necessary to succeed amongst a large network of diverse and skilled artists.
As Art House Productions continues to serve as a thriving leader at their new location, we look forward
to the future development of arts and culture in Journal Square and beyond. I commend Art House
Productions and the Art House Productions Snow Ball Gala Committee for their efforts, as well as the
artists who make up our great City.
I wish you all an enjoyable event and look forward to many more years of continued success and
celebrations.
Sincerely,
Steven M. Fulop
Mayor
Welcome to the 10th Annual Snow Ball
Friends,
Welcome to the 10th annual Snow Ball. Art House Productions is
thrilled you can join us once again to celebrate art and community.
This event is really a beautiful partnership. It's the time when
you can demonstrate your commitment to the arts in Jersey City
and it's the evening when we can thank all of you by throwing a
fantastic winter ball.
This season, as we have for the past fifteen seasons, we have
delighted and amazed people, we've made them laugh and cry,
we've nurtured kids' talent after school and we've encouraged
artists to find their voices. Art House is Jersey City's warm and
wonderful home for the visual and performing arts. The Art House
Now campaign is when we ask you to help sustain and grow this
great organization. Here's a big thank you for your support tonight
and for all the ways that you will continue to support us in the
coming year.
We're glad you're here and hope you'll have an amazing time
tonight.
Greetings,
David Gibson
President, Board of Trustees
