Meredith Burns, Art House’s Executive Director, says “It’s incredible that Art House is reaching a milestone of planning and hosting 13 Snow Ball galas. This event takes an army to execute and I am so grateful to have the support of dozens of volunteers to make it happen. This 13th year is especially ambitious in scope and there is not a better person to honor than the brain mother of Art House and the Snow Ball gala, Christine Goodman. Christine has worked tirelessly on behalf of the arts in Jersey City for two decades and we salute her work. This honor is a small token of our appreciation. Get your tickets early, because this magical, black-tie creative gala sells out every year!”
