Art House Productions was founded in late September 2001 by Christine Goodman, a community leader and professional performing artist. Art House began as an informal gathering of poets and community members in direct response to the tragedies of September 11th. At that time, there were no consistent performance venues for artists in Jersey City to meet one another and share new work. Since then, Art House has established itself as a pioneer of artistic and cultural programming in Hudson County. In 2007, Art House became incorporated and was granted nonprofit 501(c)(3) status. In late 2007, the organization was presented with the Key to the City and an official Proclamation for its outstanding contributions to the City of Jersey City, NJ.

In 2021, Art House Productions merged with Jersey Art Exchange (JAX) to increase and enhance existing education programs. Art House Productions will move into a permanent home at The Hendrix (184 Morgan St) in Jersey City, NJ. The development comes courtesy of Silverman, The Albanese Group, and Liberty Harbor. The state-of-the-art facility will include a gallery, black box theater with dressing rooms, and administrative offices.
