In April, Gretna’s Painting with a Twist will host Painting with a Purpose, a benefit for the Michael Landis Benefit Fund. Michael Landis, a new dad of 6-month-old twins was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and is currently receiving radiation and chemotherapy. He was working for Landis Transport LLC as an independent Owner Operator truck driver, but is currently unable to work and has no medical insurance. His family needs our help and we ask you to come and paint with us to help Michael and his family.

The Painting with a Purpose ‘art as entertainment’ step-by-step instructional art classes ‘follow the tradition set by the New Orleans area founders of Painting with a Twist, which was established with the intent to provide post-Katrina victims with an artistic outlet as well as an enjoyable social experience.  Painting with a Twist strives to bring out your inner artist, and urges you to come alone or grab a friend or two, your favorite beverage, and create the evening’s painting, Fight Dat. The gray cancer ribbon is the color for brain cancer, and this painting has been created especially for Michael. Call or reserve online and come and paint to make a difference with a local artist!
