MAD launches a new partnership this Fall with High 5 Tickets to the Arts, a nonprofit organization dedicated to arts access and cultural enrichment for New York City's teens. MAD now serves as the partner and host for High 5's free, after-school Visual Arts Teen Reviewers and Critics (TRaC) program.

One of the hallmarks of the TRaC program is its behind-the-scenes access for teens to the artists, critics and arts organizations that make New York City such a culturally-vibrant and exciting place to live and grow up. Each quarter High 5 offers High 5 Presents an interactive panel discussion that transforms the free, after-school TRaC program into a free event for adults based on popular elements of the teen program.

"Architecture - Is it Art?" brings together professionals working in the field for an interactive panel discussion. Moderated by Nat Oppenheimer, Principal of Robert Silman Associates PC, the panelists include: Charles Renfro, Principal of Diller Scofidio + Renfro; Kyle Lommen, Principal of Allied Works Architecture, Inc., Julie Iovine, Executive Editor of The Architect's Newspaper LLC and Vishaan Chakrabarti, Executive Vice President of Design & Plannin at Related Companies. Come hear directly from these industry professionals during the hour-long discussion and learn more about the new MAD / High 5 partnership. Afterwards, mingle over light refreshments with the panelists and staffs on MAD and High 5.
