Encore Awards

Another 2007 award goes to Ada Ciniglio, executive director of High 5 Tickets to the Arts. Since 1993, under Ms. Ciniglio’s leadership, High 5 has grown from a volunteer effort to a staff of 10 and board of 25, now serving teenagers in all five boroughs. They have provided more than 100,000 tickets (at $5 each) to teens, helped 250 arts organizations excite and build future audiences, and developed an extremely popular Teen Reviewers and Critics afterschool program.
