Every purchase directly supports a young artist, helping them overcome financial barriers and focus on their craft.

Remembering Javi
Javiera Rodriguez, a beloved friend of Art House, passed away on April 2, 2020, from complications due to COVID-19. She was a dedicated jewelry designer, creating sculptural statement pieces that blended antique and exotic beads with her signature gothic aesthetic.

Beyond her artistry, Javi was a passionate social worker, serving for 10 years as a Child Study Team case manager at Becton Regional High School. Superintendent Dario Sforza called her a “relentless advocate for special needs students” and a “dear colleague, friend, sister, and champion for students” (NorthJersey.com).

Javi was also a key part of the tight-knit group of designers who volunteered for the Snow Ball gala year after year, working alongside her best friend, Andrea McKenna, Art House’s Gallery Director. Together, they co-founded The Raven Gallery (2014-2017), a beloved hub for artists in downtown Jersey City.

Please join us as we celebrate Javi’s life, her lasting impact on young artists, and the cherished friendships she left behind.
