SNOW BALL GALA 2027

Place your bets. Art House Productions is going all in!

The Snow Ball Gala makes its return on Saturday, January 30, 2027, and this year we're rolling the dice on our most fun theme yet: Viva Art Vegas! Think glamour, high-stakes excitement, and electric entertainment inspired by our nation’s city of sin with immersive decor from the beloved Snow Ball design team behind 17 Galas and counting! They'll build a fully themed experience that shakes off the January doldrums and reminds us how good it feels to gather, celebrate, and let loose together, all in support of the local arts scene we love.

The Snow Ball Gala is Art House Productions' most important fundraiser, and we've moved it to a biennial schedule for a simple reason. We're a small team presenting and producing a massive slate of programming every year: 250+ nights supporting thousands of artists. Pouring that same energy into a world-class gala and a full season, every single year, isn't sustainable. So instead, we're going bigger every other year — one unforgettable night that funds two full seasons of work.

That makes this January's gala more important than ever. Every sponsorship, program ad, and ticket purchase now carries us through 2027 and 2028. If you want to see Jersey City's arts scene continue to grow and flourish, this is the night to show up for it.

From a VIP Honoree Dinner celebrating our community's arts heroes to live entertainment, casino tables, a silent auction featuring the work from visual artists of Jersey City, a legendary costume contest, and dancing until the night ends, Snow Ball 2027 will be unforgettable.

Creative black-tie attire is encouraged. Channel your inner showgirl, high roller, or Vegas icon, and dress to impress.

The house always wins. But this time, so do the arts. We'll see you at the table.

The VIP Honoree Dinner

Step into the exclusive world of Snow Ball's legendary VIP Honoree Dinner. Beginning at 6 PM, this intimate gathering treats VIP guests to a private live performance, a gourmet multi-course meal prepared by our culinary partners, and an exclusive first look at our silent auction, all in a beautifully appointed setting before the main event doors open.

The evening's Honorees will be celebrated for their extraordinary contributions to arts, culture, and community life in Jersey City. Honorees to be announced in fall 2026.
