Art House Productions is one of the most active arts organizations in the region, serving more than 15,000 audience members per year and providing opportunities for more than 600 artists annually. It hosts approximately 60 events every year at its facility, and also organizes the popular “JC Fridays” events, a quarterly, city-wide celebration of the arts.

The organization was founded in 2001 at Victory Hall on Grand Street in Paulus Hook. In 2006, Silverman Buildings offered to host Art House Productions within its Hamilton Square mixed-use development. The art organization was headquartered there for more than eight years. With that space now earmarked for new development activity, Paul and Eric Silverman reached out to KRE and helped facilitate Art House Production's move to Journal Square.

“We are delighted to welcome Art House Productions to Journal Square and believe the role it plays in integrating the City's thriving art and cultural scene into the community will be a key element in re-energizing this historic neighborhood,” said Jonathan Kushner, president of The KRE Group. “We're committed to helping Journal Square reach its full potential, and I know that Art House Productions shares a similar vision for this neighborhood and for all of Jersey City.”

Journal Squared, a three-phase joint venture development of KRE and National, will include 1,840 luxury rental residences, 36,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and a pedestrian-friendly public plaza adjacent to the PATH Station. The first phase, a 54-story, 540-unit residential tower, is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2016.
