Why am I here again? 🤔

Gather around theater fanatics and music lovers, for it is I, ClickO writer Sam Dunne here to tell you of all the arts and entertainment Central Florida has to offer.

It’s that time of week again where you question, “Who is this chick?” and “When did I even sign up for this?”

You may even find yourself feeling like PintIt! user dc4072′s dog, Arlo. Tongue out, blank stare, wondering how you got here.

That’s a whole lotta who, where, when, how and not enough why, if you ask me. Oh, you weren’t asking me? No, no, I get it.

Maybe you’re here because you are literally BURSTING with excitement at the latest to come out of theme park entertainment (Hellooo, “The Last of Us” Halloween Horror Nights house and Disney’s Hollywood Studios “Jollywood Nights”)!!!

Or you want to stay up-to-date on the latest Broadway shows and concerts coming to the area (Enter stage left: Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin and Pitbull) or the Hollywood premieres featuring stars with local ties.

Or you’re just that friend, family member or co-worker I forced to sign up in the name of supporting me.

Whatever the reason, I got a lot of art to share with you!

And this is only the beginning.

Literally.

Just keep scrolling.

You’ll find more.

I promise.

OK, I’m done now.

Painting with a purpose 🖌️

The best kind of art is the kind that helps others. One Brevard County nonprofit, highlighted by News 6′s own Paul Giorgio, who runs our Getting Results Award series alongside Matt Austin, does just that.

The Brevard Achievement Center helps adults with disabilities find jobs and independence through many programs, including one focused on art. The art studio students even get a commission for the pieces they sell.

Those interested in supporting the organization can purchase artwork coming out of the program from Holmes Regional Gift Shop in Melbourne, Cocoa Beach Surf Company in Cocoa Beach and the nonprofit headquarters in Rockledge.
