It is that time of year, including here in the Northeast, when the world around us is a riot of color. One can’t help feeling inspired by the autumnal jacket of bright reds, oranges, yellows, pinks and auburn set against the fading emerald of summer.

Here are some upcoming deadlines to get you motivated.
