A new trend in creating ART is popping in main cities all around the country. If the artist in you is still feeling blocked , PAINTING WIITH A TWIST may be your creative, fun solution to release your inhibitions. Recently a new franchise of Painting with a Twist opened in the Fort Lauderdal area here people are gathering to explore their talents, learn some new tricks of the trade while sipping their wine and having hors d'oeuvre. This has become a perfect destination for all kinds of celebration among family an friends. Corks N Canvas was started in 2007 by Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney in Mandeville, Louisiana. After Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, friends Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney found a way to twist a tragedy into a purpose. The storm flooded Deano's house and destroyed Maloney's husband's three truck stops in Mandeville, La., but the two fundraising enthusiasts wanted to focus on helping their community recover.
They jointly invested $10,000 and, in 2007, opened Painting with a Twist, which offered two- to three-hour painting classes four times a week. They kept prices low, $35 to $45. "It was bring your own wine. We supplied everything else," said Maloney. Once a month, they
donated a day's worth of sales to charity.
At Painting with a Twist® you will enjoy step-by-step instruction with their experienced and enthusiastic local artist. You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind creation and a new found talent you’ll want to explore.
