Painting with a Twist, Fort Wayne, IN

Painting with a Twist began after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 in Mandeville, Louisiana. Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney opened Painting with a Twist, giving their neighbors a place to come and learn to paint, relax, drink wine and destress. It provided an outlet for people to come together and recover. Seeing the success in Louisiana, the pair decided to open more locations throughout the United States, including one in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The company has provided jobs to over 2,000 artists and focuses on giving back to their communities with a monthly fundraising event, called Painting with a Purpose.
