Get yer art fix this weekend in beautiful Guntersville, Alabama. With its 120 first-rate painters, sculptors, potters and more, how better to benefit local high school students and the arts? See you there!

If, like me, you’re a fan of NBC’s Parenthood, you know Max Braverman is pretty brave. He has to be. Max has autism. The show dramatizes his family’s quest for strategies and understanding. Sometimes they just need a break.

You can take your break and support autism services at the Naples Invitational Art Fest in southeast Florida on Jan. 28-29 (a second art festival by the same organization takes place on March 17-18). All proceeds benefit Eden Autism Services. What could be more rewarding and fun? See you there!
