Painting event raises funds for Orlando shooting victims

Painting with a Twist

Painting with a Twist, an art studio in Lewes, is raising money for the victims of the Orlando mass shooting. The group calls its effort Love Always Wins. The studio will send part of the proceeds from a two-hour custom painting class this weekend to the OneOrlando fund.

49 people were killed and 53 wounded in Orlando earlier this month when a gunman opened fire in a nightclub.

Owner John Peterson said half of the proceeds will be donated. “It raises awareness of the tragic event, but it also helps to raise awareness that Lewes is a community whose business owners care about the world at large,” Peterson said.

Up to 50 people will participate in the event by painting their own version of an artist's work, he said.

Painting with a Twist has over 300 franchises nationwide. Peterson said all franchises will be participating.
